Block

Founded in 2009 as Square, Inc. by Jack Dorsey and Jim McKelvey, the company rebranded to Block, Inc. in December 2021 to reflect its growth beyond its initial merchant-focused business. Block's mission is to create tools for economic empowerment, serving a diverse audience from small business owners and artists to individual consumers. Its ecosystem includes Square for merchant payment processing and point-of-sale solutions, Cash App for peer-to-peer payments and investing, Spiral for funding Bitcoin open-source development, TIDAL for music streaming, and TBD for building a decentralized financial future.
