$170 million investment by Square


 

Square goes even bigger on bitcoin with a new $170 million investment


3,319 coins at an average price of $51,236 per coin

Square has just made another colossal investment in bitcoin, more than tripling its last investment in the cryptocurrency with a $170 million purchase of tokens. 

The digital payments company, which is run by vocal bitcoin advocate and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, disclosed the investment in its quarterly earnings report on Tuesday.

The company purchased about 3,318 bitcoins at an average price of $51,236, which signals remarkable confidence in bitcoin as it reaches record heights and invites renewed skepticism about its stability.

“Aligned with the company’s purpose, Square believes that cryptocurrency is an instrument of economic empowerment, providing a way for individuals to participate in a global monetary system and secure their own financial future,” reads the company’s press release announcing the purchase. 

“The investment is part of Square’s ongoing commitment to bitcoin, and the company plans to assess its aggregate investment in bitcoin relative to its other investments on an ongoing basis.”

Square first announced a major bitcoin investment in October of last year when it purchased $50 million worth of tokens when a single bitcoin cost a little over $10,000. 

The current price of a single bitcoin is just under $50,000, following a slight dip after the currency’s months-long surge to an eventual all-time high of just over $58,000 earlier this week.

Coinbase to Require Recipient Information for Crypto Transfers From Users in Canada, Singapore and Japan

  Customers in those countries who send crypto outside their Coinbase accounts must provide recipients’ names, addresses and in some cases, additional information, as of early April. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (COIN) will soon require its customers in Canada, Japan and Singapore who send cryptocurrency to another financial institution or exchange to provide the name, address and in the case of Japan, the destination wallet of the recipient.

Coinbase didn't immediately respond to requests for additional comment on the moves, but confirmed that they were taking place.
