As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Block Inc.’s Q2 2024 earnings report is nothing short of impressive. The company’s strategic focus on Bitcoin and its digital payment platform, Cash App, has paid off handsomely, with a staggering 9% year-over-year increase in Bitcoin revenue and a total net revenue of $6.16 billion – an 11% rise compared to the same period last year.
As a researcher delving into financial trends, I recently found myself analyzing Block Inc.’s Q2 2024 earnings report – a company spearheaded by Jack Dorsey. Notably, their Bitcoin revenue demonstrated a robust 9% year-on-year growth, culminating in an impressive $2.61 billion figure.
In Q1, the growth added up to a grand total of $6.16 billion in Block’s overall earnings, marking a significant increase of 11% when compared to the same timeframe the previous year.
As a crypto investor, I can tell you that a significant chunk of the recent earnings came directly from Square’s Cash App. Incredibly, Bitcoin transactions accounted for about $1.52 billion of the $4.13 billion earned during the quarter by this app alone.
CashApp saw a substantial 52% rise in Bitcoin earnings, amounting to approximately $67 million. The significant boost in profits can largely be attributed to Bitcoin’s average price surge of over 45% during this year, peaking at around $64,777 by the end of June.
Furthermore, Block’s total gross profit experienced a significant surge of 20% annually, amounting to $2.23 billion. Notably, net income for common shareholders also rose substantially, reaching $195 million compared to just $102 million in the corresponding quarter from last year.
In my role as an analyst, I must share that although we’ve seen some impressive gains, Block incurred a loss of $70 million from its Bitcoin investments during this period. As of June 30, 2024, our company was holding approximately 8,211 Bitcoins, which equated to a value of around $515 million. Over the last quarter, we strategically added about 173 Bitcoins to our portfolio, expanding our holdings in this digital currency.
The block has revealed intentions to gather approximately $2 billion via senior unsecured notes. This financial influx aims to enhance the company’s cash reserves, currently valued at $10.3 billion as of the end of the quarter. These funds will be allocated towards debt repayment, strategic acquisitions, and other significant investments.
