To Our Shareholders
Q2’25 Highlights[3]
Gross Profit
$2.54B
We’re back on offense
We had a strong second quarter. Square GPV grew 10% year over year and Cash App gross profit grew 16% year over year, accelerating as we exited Q2. Our focus on products that can drive network expansion is already paying off as we started rolling out Pools on Cash App in July, just four months after kicking off development work. Our shipping velocity has accelerated and I’m confident in our ability to sustain strong growth at scale. As we head into Investor Day, I’ll share why we believe we have the best assets in the industry to deliver for our customers, starting with Cash App and featuring Square next quarter.
Cash App’s unique assets
Cash App is building the financial operating system for the next generation. We want everyone to be able to run their financial lives on Cash App, and we are already seeing this happen at scale, especially with younger customers. Actives under the age of 25 have higher Paycheck Deposit attach rates and a 40% higher Cash App Card attach rate compared to the rest of our customer base.[1] Teens are central to our next-generation strategy and nearly 80% of parent - or guardian - sponsored teen accounts have a Cash App Card.

Operating Income

19% Margin[4]
The next generation relies on Cash App because of the four key sets of capabilities we offer:
-
A scaled P2P network that connects customers to their local communities
-
A broad set of commerce tools that help customers manage their spending
-
Deep banking functionality that supports customers saving, investing, borrowing, and more[2]
-
Simple tools that make it easy for customers to transact in bitcoin
Our long-term strategy is to expand the depth of our ecosystem across these capabilities. We believe what we’ve launched, along with what we’ll soon release, provides a comprehensive set of financial tools that increasingly meets the needs of customers across the economic spectrum. And we believe we’re the only company that can deliver a complete money hub to customers. As we continue to launch new products, we will increase our ability to make each part of Cash App strengthen the others.
Adjusted Operating Income[5]

Net Income[6]

Adjusted EBITDA[7] $891M
1 A transacting active is a Cash App account that has at least one financial transaction using any product or service within Cash App during a specified period. A transacting active for a specific Cash App product has at least one financial transaction using that product during the specified period and is referred to as an active. Examples of transactions include sending or receiving a peer-to-peer payment, transferring money into or out of Cash App, making a purchase using Cash App Card, earning a dividend on a stock investment, and paying back a loan, among others. Certain of these accounts may share an alias identifier with one or more other transacting active accounts. This could represent, among other things, one customer with multiple accounts or multiple customers sharing one alias identifier (for example, families).

Peer to peer drives network density
At its core, Cash App is a community network. We’re focused on increasing network virality through P2P innovation, and over the past year we processed $218 billion in P2P volume. We’re improving the P2P customer experience, increasing payments success rates, and improving search functionality to make it easier to find the connections you want to pay. And in July we introduced Pools, a new P2P product that helps customers share group expenses with their communities. We plan to expand access to more customers — including people who aren’t on Cash App yet.
P2P remains the foundation of our network and our go-to-market strategy. It enables the vast majority of new actives to join Cash App organically, which leads to highly efficient customer acquisition costs per active — 1/10th the cost some of our competitors pay.
Commerce solutions help customers run their day-to-day financial lives
Our commerce solutions span Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, Cash App Business, and a wide range of BNPL offerings across Afterpay and Cash App. Together, these products form our commerce network, which drove $183 billion in spending volume over the past 12 months, growing 16% year over year, or 21% excluding Cash App Business.
We’ve launched Cash App Afterpay, including post-purchase BNPL and Pay in 4, and we’re bringing more Afterpay merchants into the Cash App ecosystem through their existing Afterpay integrations. In July, we started making Offers on Cash App Card more personalized to help people save at the places they’re already shopping. We’re also focused on enabling customers to unlock higher value rewards as they spend more on Cash App, and this fall, we expect to launch auto-selection of rewards to help people save effortlessly.
Connecting small businesses and consumers to strengthen local communities has always been a foundational goal of Block. We plan to take the next step forward in this vision at our upcoming Square Releases event by expanding access to Cash Local. We’re building a set of tools that allow buyers to order ahead, earn rewards, and follow their favorite local businesses, all in Cash App. We expect these tools, along with a suite of associated marketing features, will help sellers establish a deeper relationship with their customers. This will also reduce the need for small businesses to build their own mobile apps, giving them access to digital capabilities that historically only large enterprise sellers could build.
Banking functionality to help customers build better financial futures
We’ve redesigned the money tab to better surface our financial tools and bring more awareness to our banking offerings. We’re also testing higher Borrow limits for paycheck deposit actives to drive increased conversion and incentivize millions of our most engaged customers to make Cash App their primary banking platform.[8] Borrow origination volume grew 95% year over year in the second quarter to $18 billion on an annualized basis,[9] and we’re focused on finding more ways to use Borrow to drive deeper ecosystem engagement.
We remain focused on growing paycheck deposit actives. But we also know our narrow definition does not reflect the full population of people who view Cash App as their primary bank, including independent wage earners and those who consider their primary bank to be where they spend their money, not where they get paid. We’re evolving our banking features to better serve more of our active customers, starting with a test that offers banking benefits to anyone who spends at least $500 a month with their Cash App Card.
As of June, we had 2.7 million paycheck deposit actives. If we define a banking customer based on how people use money in their everyday lives — depositing a paycheck or spending at least $500 per month across Cash App — we would have 8 million banking actives, growing 16% year over year. And if we count anyone who deposits $200+ in paychecks or transacts 15+ times a month, we’d have ended June with 11 million banking actives, adding over 1 million actives in the past year.[10] However you define it, our banking scale is significant, and we remain focused on deepening banking engagement so more of our customers spend, save, borrow, and invest with Cash App.
8 A paycheck deposit active is a Cash App account that receives ACH inflows during a specified period, but excludes tax refunds and ACH transfers.
9 Borrow origination volume is calculated based on annualized Borrow originations during a given quarter.
10 References to spend or transactions across Cash App include Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, Cash App Afterpay, and ACH bill pay.

Making bitcoin everyday money
The next generation of consumers has a different relationship with money and wants the option to use bitcoin and other forms of payment as part of their financial lives. For the last 8 years we’ve focused on making bitcoin more accessible — and we’ve delivered: millions of people have used Cash App to buy and sell over $58 billion in bitcoin. More recently, we’ve increased withdrawal limits for bitcoin, giving Cash App actives more flexibility to use bitcoin to meet their needs. And in May, we showcased the ability for Square sellers to accept bitcoin, giving both sellers and Cash App consumers more ways to manage their financial lives.
Our longstanding investment in bitcoin as a technology protocol represents a slow and steady conviction in a new open, decentralized paradigm for payments that doesn’t rely on gatekeepers. No matter how our customers choose to pay and get paid in the future, Block will be ready.
Cash App is just getting started
$218 billion in P2P volume. $183 billion in commerce volume. $18 billion in annualized Borrow originations and millions of banking actives. These numbers reflect the scale of our ecosystem and how we’re making Cash App a daily part of our customers’ lives. They also represent the trust millions of people place in us and our success in building the finance platform for the next generation. We’re just getting started.

Business Highlights
Square
Sellers choose Square to help them grow and run more profitable businesses. We’re launching new products to fulfill that purpose.
We launched our new Square Handheld in May in the U.S. and have begun rolling it out in international markets, helping our sellers deliver a better customer experience, turn tables quicker, and run back office operations more efficiently. Product innovations like Square Handheld are gaining recognition in the market. We showcased this device and other recent product launches at the National Restaurant Association in May, making it clear to sellers and partners that we are a leading technology provider in the food and beverage industry.
In the second quarter, we also launched Square AI to give sellers instant, data-driven answers to their business questions. Leveraging our AI agent, codename goose, and powered by Square data, this tool is available directly in the Square Dashboard and it helps sellers work smarter and faster. Through a conversational interface, sellers can explore sales trends, top-selling items by time of day, customer spending patterns, and more. It’s the start of a broader push to bring powerful AI tools to our sellers.
We believe sellers should be able to take any form of payment that crosses the counter, and we’re connecting our ecosystems to make that a reality. In the second quarter, we showcased bitcoin payments on Square, which will enable sellers to accept bitcoin directly through Square hardware for nearinstantaneous, low-cost transactions that settle in either bitcoin or local currency. We expect to begin rolling out this experience to millions of sellers in the second half of 2025.
As we execute on our product roadmap, we are reaching more sellers.
Since hiring our first field sales team last November, we’ve seen strong early returns and are increasing hiring through year-end to continue building on this momentum. We’ve also continued to scale our telesales team, maintaining strong ROI as we grow, and are encouraged by growth trends as we invest in sales across international markets. We’re empowering our sales team to sell Square upmarket, and our product is resonating with larger sellers.
We’re focused on winning the quick-service restaurant market and have rolled out new products and features for these sellers. We signed a number of new upmarket sellers including Colectivo Coffee, a coffee shop with more than 20 locations in the Midwest that partners closely with coffee farmers and cooperatives around the world. They chose Square due to our ability to integrate directly into their custom app. We also signed Shane’s Rib Shack, an American fast-casual BBQ restaurant chain with over 35 locations that specializes in slow-cooked baby back ribs, hand-chopped chicken and pork, and Southern-style side dishes. This October, we’ll host our next biannual Square Releases event, where we’ll showcase additional products and features designed for quick-service restaurants.
Our sales and partnership efforts are also driving success across other verticals. Square has established a strong presence in concerts and stadiums globally, and we are continuing to expand in this space. In the second quarter, we signed Live Nation Canada, making Square the exclusive payment processing partner at major concert venues and festivals across Canada. We also signed Midwest Vision Partners, a vision care provider with more than 70 locations, that chose Square due to our modern and flexible payment options.
We continue to build out our partnership motion and have exceeded our targets for partner-driven volume. We launched our first U.S. independent sales organization (“ISO”) partnership earlier this year, and signed multiple new ISO partners in the second quarter. While early, initial results are promising, and we’re continuing to invest in this channel.

Cash App
We’re delivering product innovation to drive network virality and deepen engagement.
In July we started rolling out Pools, a group P2P product that makes collecting and managing shared money simple and social. Approximately 60% of adults pool money to manage shared expenses or contribute to shared goals — whether that’s rent, a group trip, or organizing a youth sports league. Now, Cash App will enable proactive contributions, allowing groups to fund collective expenses in advance and reducing the upfront individual cost. After moving from prototype to pilot in just four months, we plan to expand access more broadly, unlocking network growth by allowing group P2P participation — even from those outside the platform — and making it easier for new customers to discover Cash App.
We estimate that nearly 20% of our customers receive at least a portion of their pay in cash, and we’ve more than doubled paper money deposit limits to better serve them. We believe increasing transaction limits across Cash App will enable customers to conduct more of their financial lives with us, deepening engagement and loyalty.
In the second quarter we launched Tap to Pay on iPhone for Cash App Business sellers, powered by Square as a Tap to Pay processor. This unlocks card acceptance for millions of eligible Cash App Business sellers on iOS, and early beta testing found Cash App Business sellers using Tap to Pay saw an approximately 35% increase in gross payment volume (“GPV”). We’re going to continue to invest in Cash App Business, helping nanosellers grow with innovations powered by Square technology.[11]
We see a major opportunity to grow our network by becoming the financial platform for the next generation.
We’re focused on winning teens early — driving viral adoption through their social circles and giving them and their sponsors tools to responsibly grow with Cash App as their financial needs evolve. As of June, we had 5 million monthly active sponsored teen accounts on Cash App and these actives are highly engaged: nearly 80% were Cash App Card Actives and over 25% were Cash App Pay actives as of June. When sponsored accounts turn 18, nearly half have made the choice to graduate to an individual Cash App account, with the vast majority of these active in June. As our product set grows, we expect our ability to grow with these customers will continue to improve.
In the second quarter we rolled out a new feature that instantly notifies sponsors whenever a teen transacts with a new connection on Cash App, giving sponsors more visibility and control over their teen’s Cash App experience.
Marketing investments are scaling alongside product innovation. In July, we increased teen-focused referrals and campaigns, and are now expanding into creator content, interactive ads, and new formats across various social media channels in an effort to drive broader awareness and adoption.
We’re continuing to scale our Commerce capabilities.
Cash App Pay volume grew 2x year over year in the second quarter. We continued to add new merchants across food delivery, gaming platforms, and general retail, giving millions of customers more ways to pay with Cash App. We also continued to grow Afterpay GMV and signed new merchants including Uber and Uber Eats in Australia.
Over the last three years advertising has become a meaningful new growth vector for Cash App Afterpay. Building on this success, we launched the Afterpay Media Network (“AMN”) late last year, an advertising platform that harnesses data from millions of Afterpay actives in Australia to deliver targeted marketing solutions for merchants. We’re empowering brands to reach the right audiences and have driven measurable sales and conversion improvements, with analysis from early case studies indicating up to 15x return on ad spend.
In the second quarter we launched Pay Monthly for Single Use Payments (“SUP”) in the U.S. SUP lets customers split purchases into installments at merchants that advertise on the Afterpay app, and we are now offering greater payment flexibility with 6- and 12-month term options for higher value purchases. We view advertising as a powerful growth vector for Afterpay and will continue to innovate to better serve merchants and consumers.
11 Nanosellers are individuals or sellers who make less than $10,000 per year in GPV. Nanosellers make up the majority of Cash App Business sellers.

Financial Discussion
We delivered strong financial performance in the second quarter, with gross profit growth accelerating to 14% year over year and Adjusted Operating Income margins expanding to 22%. We are executing on our strategic growth initiatives across Square and Cash App, accelerating GPV growth in Square and gross profit per monthly transacting active in Cash App. We are raising our full year guidance to reflect our strong execution. We expect to continue to accelerate gross profit growth in the second half of 2025 and to exit 2025 with year-over-year growth of 19%, while delivering 20% Adjusted Operating Income margin, positioning us well for 2026.[12]

Cash App gross profit increased 16% year over year, driven by growth across Cash App Borrow, Cash App Card, and BNPL.
Gross profit per transacting active reached $87 in the second quarter, up 15% year over year. Inflows per transacting active in the second quarter were $1,338, up 8% year over year, driven in part by more customers bringing their paychecks into Cash App. Cash App’s paycheck deposit monthly actives grew year over year and quarter over quarter to 2.7 million as we continued to execute on our “bank the base” strategy.
BNPL GMV, which now includes post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, reached $9.11 billion in the second quarter, growing 17% and 18% year over year on a reported and constant currency basis, respectively. Growth was driven by our Pay-in-Four offering, post-purchase BNPL, and Gift Cards from our eligibility expansion. BNPL gross profit, which now includes post-purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, was $268 million, up 22% year over year.[19]

15 Historically, our Cash App ecosystem has experienced improvements in revenue, gross profit, and inflows related to the distribution of government funds as customers have deposited more funds into Cash App during these times, including during the first quarter when U.S. tax refunds are typically distributed.
-
16 Inflows per transacting active refers to total inflows in the quarter divided by monthly actives for the last month of the quarter. Inflows refers to funds entering the Cash App ecosystem. Inflows does not include the movement of funds when funds remain in the Cash App ecosystem or when funds leave the Cash App ecosystem, or inflows related to the Afterpay app.

17 We calculate monetization rate by dividing Cash App gross profit, excluding contributions from our BNPL platform, by Cash App inflows.
-
18 Gross profit per monthly transacting active is calculated based on Cash App annualized gross profit excluding our BNPL platform during a given quarter divided by the monthly transacting actives for the last month of the quarter. Gross profit for our BNPL platform was $220 million or $881 million on an annualized basis for Q2’24, $242 million or $968 million on an annualized basis for Q3’24, $298 million or $1.19 billion on an annualized basis for Q4’24, $237 million or $948 million on an annualized basis for Q1’25, and $261 million or $1.04 billion on an annualized basis for Q2’25.

In the second quarter, we achieved significant leverage on our product development expenses as we reduced software and cloud costs, with spend up only 2% on a GAAP basis. Sales and marketing expenses grew 8% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven by an increase in go-to-market investments to support the growth of our business. Of this, Cash App marketing expenses were relatively flat year over year as we grew advertising and customer acquisition spend by over 50%, offset by improvements in peer-to-peer risk loss performance. Other sales and marketing expenses were up 22% year over year as we significantly increased go-to-market investment in Square. General and administrative expenses were down 5% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven primarily by decreased personnel costs and our continued focus on expense efficiency. Transaction, loan, and consumer receivable losses increased 53% year over year on a GAAP basis, driven primarily by growth in loan volumes, particularly from Cash App Borrow.

In the second quarter of 2025, we continued to prudently invest in our lending products, including growing Borrow given the strong unit economics and returns we have seen. We are also focused on returning capital to shareholders. In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased 12.5 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $692 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.5 billion in remaining authorization for repurchases.
In the second quarter, we began originating Borrow loans through SFS. Borrow loans originated through SFS are classified as held-for-investment rather than held-for-sale, which has the effect of shifting those Borrow receivables from cash flow from operations to cash flow from investing activities. We plan to share a comprehensive overview of our cash generation capabilities at Investor Day.
We ended the quarter with $8.5 billion of total liquidity, with $7.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable debt securities, as well as $775 million available to be withdrawn from our revolving credit facility.

We’re raising our gross profit and Adjusted Operating Income guidance by more than our second quarter outperformance to reflect our strong execution. We now expect $10.17 billion in gross profit for 2025, for growth of over 14% year over year. We expect gross profit in the third quarter to grow 16% year over year to $2.60 billion. We expect to accelerate gross profit growth further in the fourth quarter, exiting the year at 19% gross profit growth, with the drivers of acceleration consistent with our prior outlook. We expect Borrow to be the most meaningful contributor to growth acceleration in the third and fourth quarters. In addition, expansion of post purchase BNPL on Cash App Card, Square GPV acceleration from product and go to market investment, and Proto chip deliveries are all expected to drive gross profit growth. We continue to be mindful of the dynamic macro backdrop as we forecast our business.
We expect to deliver $460 million of Adjusted Operating Income in the third quarter and $2.03 billion in Adjusted Operating Income for the full year. We are raising our Adjusted Operating Income guidance even with our expectation for increased levels of go to market investment relative to our prior outlook. We’ve continued to see attractive returns on go to market spend and healthy risk loss in our underwriting products and we will continue to be data driven and prudent in our growth investments.
