The company, owned by Jack Dorsey, reported a gross profit of $66 million from bitcoin sales made through Cash App, a banking services platform, marking a 90% increase compared to the previous year.

According to the report, the total revenue generated from bitcoin sales to customers amounted to $2.52 billion, showing a 37% year-over-year increase.
