Jack Dorsey's Block Reveals Modular Bitcoin Mining Rigs That Can Be Upgraded
Jack Dorsey's fintech Block has released its latest Bitcoin product: a long-lasting mining rig with swappable parts, which will enable miners to cut costs on repairing and replacing the high-powered computing devices. Announcing the product Thursday, Block said the machine, dubbed Proto Rig, will last 10 years instead of the typical three-to-five-year lifespan. Proto Rig's design means that engineers can upgrade individual parts of the machine—like hashboards—without buying a new rig entirely. Block said that the new rig would cut costs for miners by 15-20% each upgrade cycle. "Machines break often, are hard to repair, expensive and time-consuming to upgrade, and don't make the most efficient use of power or space," Thomas Templeton, hardware lead at Block, said in a statement. "With Rig, we set out to change all of that—and contribute to hardware decentralization in the process." The new product comes as the cost of mining has increased and the rewards for verifying transactions on the blockchain have become more difficult to earn. Last year's halving cut the payoff for miners to 3.125 BTC from 6.25 BTC. Mining is notoriously difficult and energy consuming, with industrial miners running warehouses full of mining rigs. In its most recent quarter, MARA Holdings, the world's largest company in the category by BTC mined, reported a 505% increase in net income, and other miners reported strong results—but these companies have benefited from the price gains of their Bitcoin holdings. The underlying challenges they face are likely to continue, experts say, and a number of these firms have already pivoted their resources toward AI; or in the case of BitMine Immersion and Bit Digital, become Ethereum treasuries. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he wants all future Bitcoin minted in the States—a likely impossible task. Many mining machines are made in China, but Dorsey has said he wants to change that by producing them in the U.S. Dorsey, who founded Twitter (now X) before leaving in 2021 to focus his efforts on payments and Bitcoin adoption, has said he wants the virtual coin to be the global currency. He has also described Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin white paper as "poetry." Square Begins Bitcoin Payments for Sellers as Block Stock Hits S&P 500 Block's other companies—like Square and Cash App—have released Bitcoin products, including a crypto hardware wallet, Bitkey. Square's payment terminals also allow merchants to accept Bitcoin payments, though that feature is still rolling out broadly. Block's stock (NYSE: XYZ) was trading about 1% lower on Thursday, according to Yahoo Finance. The company, which joined the S&P 500 in July, is up more than 10% over the past month but down over 12% year-to-date. Bitcoin was recently trading at about $118,200, down nearly 3% over the past 24 hours after hitting a new all-time high mark above $124,000 on Wednesday. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap has risen more than 25% since the start of 2025.

Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold Block Stock After Its Post-Earnings Pop?
Block's (XYZ) stock surge following its Q2 earnings presents a mixed picture for investors. In the June quarter, the fintech company reported revenue of $6.05 billion vs. estimates of $6.31 billion, while earnings fell short at $0.62 per share versus estimates of $0.69 per share. However, strong operational metrics told a different story. Block's gross profit jumped 14% to $2.54 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $2.46 billion. More importantly, Block raised full-year gross profit guidance to $10.17 billion, representing 14% growth and above its previous forecast of $9.96 billion. Square's payment volume grew 10% to $64.25 billion, demonstrating continued market share gains despite intensifying competition from Toast (TOST) and Fiserv's (FI) Clover.

Net income in Q2 more than doubled to $538.5 million, showcasing improved profitability. The company's strong guidance for Q3 gross profit growth of 16% and expectations for 20% operating margins indicate that management is confident in Block's execution. Is Block Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Block's second-quarter earnings call revealed a company hitting its stride through accelerated product development and strategic execution. CEO Jack Dorsey emphasized the transformative impact of increased shipping velocity, highlighting the rapid three-month development cycle for Cash App Pools, a complex feature enabling group money pooling that extends beyond the Cash App network to include Apple Pay (AAPL) and Google Pay (GOOG) (GOOGL) users. The company's artificial intelligence investments are proving transformative, as internal AI coding tools like 'Goose' have accelerated developer productivity and enabled near-zero-cost experimentation. This technological infrastructure is fueling Block's ability to deliver customer value faster while maintaining its focus on the core network effects that originally made Cash App successful. Cash App's banking strategy is gaining traction, with 8 million active users either depositing paychecks or spending over $500 monthly, a 16% year-over-year increase. These high-engagement customers generate over $250 in annualized gross profit per user, triple Cash App's blended average, demonstrating the platform's value as a primary banking relationship. The lending portfolio continues expanding responsibly, with Borrow reaching 6 million monthly active users and $18 billion in annualized originations. Block's proprietary credit scoring model enables approval of 38% more customers compared to traditional VantageScore metrics while maintaining loss rates under 3%. The recent migration to Square Financial Services for loan origination enhances unit economics and provides greater operational control. Square's go-to-market investments are delivering strong returns, with field sales teams showing 5-6 quarter payback periods and the strongest new volume growth since Q3 2021. The launch of Square Handheld hardware and Square AI dashboard tools positions the platform competitively across restaurant, retail, and service verticals. Block's commitment to accepting emerging payment methods, including Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and stablecoins, reinforces its strategy of enabling sellers to capture every transaction opportunity. The company's focus on next-generation financial tools positions it well for sustained growth as product velocity continues accelerating. Is XYX Stock Undervalued? While the earnings pop reflects optimism about raised guidance, Block stock still faces revenue headwinds and competitive pressures. XYZ stock's year-to-date 9.5% decline suggests market skepticism, but improving profitability metrics and market share gains in key verticals provide reasons for cautious optimism. Analysts tracking Block stock forecast sales to rise from $24.1 billion in 2024 to $39.55 billion in 2029. In this period, free cash flow is forecast to improve from $1.55 billion to $5 billion. If XYZ stock is priced at 20 times forward FCF, which is reasonable, it could gain over 120% from current levels over the next four years. Of the 42 analysts covering XYZ stock, 26 recommend 'Strong Buy,' four recommend 'Moderate Buy,' seven recommend 'Hold,' and five recommend 'Strong Sell.' The average Block stock price target is $80.61, roughly 5% above the current price.

The 10 Public Companies With the Biggest Bitcoin Portfolios
For many years, the idea that publicly traded corporations might buy Bitcoin for their reserves was considered laughable. The top cryptocurrency was considered too volatile, too fringe to be embraced by any serious business. That taboo has been well and truly broken, with a number of major institutional investors buying up Bitcoin in recent years. The floodgates first opened when cloud software company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September 2020. Others followed suit, including payments processor Block and electric car manufacturer Tesla. Per BitcoinTreasuries, public companies holding Bitcoin now account for nearly 4.5% of the total supply of 21 million BTC. These are the biggest holders as of this writing. 1. Strategy Strategy, a prominent business analytics platform turned Bitcoin treasury company, has adopted BTC as its primary reserve asset. The company is perhaps better known as MicroStrategy, but changed its name in February 2025 with co-founder Michael Saylor citing the 'power and positivity' of 'strategy.' The firm, which produces mobile software and provides cloud-based services, has aggressively pursued a Bitcoin buying spree, scooping up millions of dollars worth of the cryptocurrency. As of this writing in August 2025, it holds 628,946 BTC in reserve, equivalent to more than $73 billion and more than 2.8% of the total number of Bitcoin that will ever be issued. What Is Strategy (MSTR)? The Bitcoin Treasury Company At one point, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said, he was buying $1,000 in Bitcoin every second. In the company's Q1 2024 earnings call, Saylor claimed that the company's adoption of a 'Bitcoin strategy' had enabled it to deliver 10x to 30x the performance of rival enterprise software companies in the business intelligence sector. Unlike other executives who typically shy away from discussing their personal investments, Saylor has made it public that he personally purchased 17,732 BTC—currently worth over $1.6 billion and still holds them as of September 2024. It's something of an about-face for the Strategy co-founder, who in 2013 claimed that Bitcoin's days were numbered. Strategy Could Buy as Much as 7% of Bitcoin Supply, Says Michael Saylor 'We're at the beginning of the stage of rapid institutional adoption of digital property in the form of Bitcoin,' Saylor said during the company's Q1 2024 earnings call. He added that in the future, Bitcoin won't compete against other crypto assets, but against, 'gold, art, equities, real estate, bonds, and other types of store-of-value money in wealth creation, wealth preservation, and the capital markets.' Strategy plans to buy even more Bitcoin in the near future, as it's in the midst of raising a planned $42 billion to do just that, and Saylor is making the pitch to other public companies as well—like Microsoft, though shareholders ultimately voted against the proposal. Perhaps the loudest Bitcoin proponent out there, Saylor has already said the firm will be 'buying the top forever.' 2. Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital, unsurprisingly, is also a large holder of Bitcoin, with 50,639 BTC in its corporate treasury according to a recent social update. That's worth nearly $6 billion at today's prices. The company, which aims to build "the largest Bitcoin mining operation in North America at one of the lowest energy costs," originated as a patent holding firm (and was often referred to as a patent troll) before its pivot into crypto mining. Donald Trump's Face Is Now Plastered on the Bitcoin Blockchain Forever The firm noted that it is accelerating its growth plans following the 2024 Bitcoin halving, in a bid to 'mitigate the impact' of receiving half the BTC rewards per each successfully mined block. The firm had said that it aimed to double the scale of its mining operations in 2024. The company increased its revenue by 64% in Q2 2025, marking its highest ever revenue quarter at $238.5 million. It recently raised nearly $2 billion via convertible notes, most of which has been used to buy Bitcoin. 3. Twenty-One (XXI) The Jack Mallers-led Twenty One (XXI) expects to hold 43,514 Bitcoin—over $5 billion worth currently—when transactions are finalized and it begins trading publicly. Set to launch via a planned SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners, the firm is also working alongside stablecoin giant Tether, crypto exchange Bitfinex, and Japanese investment firm SoftBank to build its Bitcoin treasury. Twenty One Boosts Bitcoin Treasury Total to $5.1 Billion—With Help From Tether Unlike other treasury firms that may accumulate Bitcoin for their balance sheets while operating non-crypto businesses, Twenty One's primary focus will be on acquiring BTC and providing Bitcoin-related services to help differentiate itself from others. The firm pledges a long-term focus with plans not to 'outperform inflation,' but instead 'render the concept of inflation irrelevant.' 4. Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR) is another soon-to-be public entity that will launch with more than 30,000 Bitcoin when its transactions finalize, expected to take place in Q4 2025. The firm, which will be led by early Bitcoiner and BTC whale Adam Back, is the result of a merger between BSTR and the Cantor Fitzgerald-linked special purpose acquisition company, Cantor Equity Partners I. Cantor, Adam Back Team Up to Launch Bitcoin Treasury Firm With $3.5 Billion in BTC As part of the merger, Back and founding shareholders will contribute 25,000 Bitcoin to the company, with another 5,021 Bitcoin provided via an in-kind PIPE, or private investment in public equity. 'We are putting unprecedented firepower behind a single mission: maximizing Bitcoin ownership per share while accelerating real-world Bitcoin adoption,' Back said of the firm, in a statement. In addition to its 30,031 Bitcoin, currently valued at $3.5 billion, the firm also announced it could raise up to $1.5 billion in funding for more purchases. 5. Riot Platforms, Inc. Another crypto mining outfit, U.S.-based Riot Platforms, holds 19,273 BTC—worth $2.25 billion at today's prices. With its valuation surging from below $200 million in 2020 to highs of over $6 billion in 2021, the Nasdaq-listed company went on an aggressive expansion drive. In April 2021, it spent $650 million on a one-gigawatt Bitcoin mining facility in Texas, eventually expanding further in 2022 before rebranding to Riot Platforms to diversify its business model in 2023. Jack Dorsey's Block Reveals Modular Bitcoin Mining Rigs That Can Be Upgraded In 2024, it warned shareholders that there was 'no guarantee' the Bitcoin halving would improve profitability and while RIOT shares traded briefly around $18 in the early part of the year, the stock fell gradually before ranging below $10 from August until late October. After such, it gained alongside a resurgence for Bitcoin mining stocks and the broader cryptocurrency market after Donald Trump was named President-elect in November. The company also reached a settlement with Bitcoin mining firm, Bitfarms, as it attempted a hostile takeover of the rival in 2024. 6. Metaplanet Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed firm nicknamed the 'Asian Strategy,' now holds 18,113 Bitcoin after its latest purchase, worth over $2.1 billion at today's prices. Outside of its Bitcoin operations, the company owns and operates a hotel that is being rebranded to the 'Bitcoin Hotel,' and claims that it is the first and only publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company in Japan. Following in Strategy's footsteps, the firm has aggressively added to its Bitcoin holdings of late, increasing its reserves more than 10x from less than 400 BTC in September 2024 to more than 4,500 in April 2025. It then more than tripled that number in just a couple months as it heads towards a goal of owning more than 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027. In other headline news, the company added President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump to a Strategic Advisory Board in March. 7. Trump Media & Technology Group President Trump's publicly traded media and technology firm is the 7th largest holder of Bitcoin with an estimated 15,000 BTC, according to data from That number is likely derived from the firm's recent $2 billion purchase of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities in July—although it has not publicly detailed exactly how much of that purchase is denominated in BTC itself. Trump Media Buys $2 Billion in Bitcoin, BTC Securities for Treasury Trump Media has been leaning into crypto heavily since the president returned to the White House in January. In addition to its Bitcoin purchases, it also teased the launch of a crypto token and wallet for its Truth Social platform, and has filed to launch multiple crypto ETFs. 8. CleanSpark U.S. Bitcoin mining firm CleanSpark holds 12,703 BTC as of July 31, worth just under $1.5 billion at today's prices. Ahead of the 2024 Bitcoin halving, the firm expanded its operations, snapping up three Bitcoin mining facilities in Mississippi for $19.8 million and adding up to 2.4 EH/s to its mining capacity. The company also added a third facility in Dalton, Georgia to its lineup, with a further 0.8 EH/s. In June 2024, CleanSpark revealed that it had mined 417 BTC in the month of May, claiming to have 'outperformed industry expectations' in its first full month of production following the halving. The company added that it would further expand to a site in Wyoming. While other public companies on the list have made it a habit of buying Bitcoin for their treasuries, CleanSpark CFO Gary Vecchiarelli said in February 2025, 'We continue to invest in ourselves, because why buy Bitcoin at current spot prices when we can mine it for $34,000?" 9. Coinbase Arguably the best-known crypto firm in this list, crypto exchange Coinbase went public in a landmark direct listing on the Nasdaq in April 2021. Ahead of its listing, in February 2021, Coinbase revealed that it held $230 million in Bitcoin on its balance sheet. As of its most recent 10-q filing, it holds 11,776 BTC in its treasury for investment, currently worth nearly $1.4 billion. Coinbase and Strategy Set Stock Records Amid Bitcoin, Ethereum Spikes The company's stock has charged back towards its previous all-time high in the wake of the 2024 Presidential election, later surpassing the mark in June 2025 and pushing to a new high again in July. It continues to innovate with Bitcoin, recently announcing its own wrapped Bitcoin product, cbBTC. Coinbase also recently restarted Bitcoin lending services. 10. Tesla Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla joined the ranks of companies holding Bitcoin in December 2020, with an SEC filing revealing that the company invested "an aggregate $1.5 billion" in Bitcoin. Today the company holds 11,509 BTC according to its July 2025 10-Q, or about $1.35 billion worth. After its first purchase, the company sold 10% of its Bitcoin holdings in Q1 2021; according to CEO Elon Musk, this was "to prove liquidity of Bitcoin as an alternative to holding cash on balance sheet." The company's Bitcoin play followed months of speculation, after CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter (aka X) to discuss the cryptocurrency. In late 2020, Strategy's Saylor offered to share his "playbook" for Bitcoin investing with Musk, after arguing that a move into Bitcoin would be doing Tesla shareholders a "$100 billion favor." Tesla Revalues Bitcoin Holdings Under New Accounting Rules, Reports $600M Gain in Q4 However, Musk and Tesla have had an on-and-off relationship with Bitcoin. After announcing that Tesla would accept payments in Bitcoin for its products and services in March 2021, just two months later the CEO abruptly announced that the company would no longer accept the cryptocurrency for payments. Arkham Intelligence believes the acceptance of Bitcoin payments fueled a jump in the Tesla Bitcoin holdings, placing its current treasury at 11,509 BTC compared to a once widely reported 9,720 BTC based on its previous purchases and ensuing sales. Tesla's latest financial reports validate the total of 11,509. It remains to be seen whether Tesla will add to its balance sheet, but Musk has said that 'he's open to increasing its Bitcoin holdings in the future.' Musk is perhaps best known as a keen advocate of another cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. Tesla has enabled Dogecoin purchases for some merchandise, plus Musk led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) earlier this year, spawning new meme coins and a swift movement upward for Dogecoin.
