Block, Inc. Adopts Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy for Bitcoin Investment

With intentions to acquire more Bitcoin beginning in April and continuing until 2024, Block, Inc. has revealed a strategic change in its investing method. The company will set aside 10% of its monthly gross earnings from Bitcoin-related goods for this purpose.

Block, Inc. has adopted the dollar-cost averaging investing approach in an effort to manage the volatility of Bitcoin’s price. Regardless of the market price of Bitcoin at any given moment, this strategy entails making recurring, fixed-dollar investments in the cryptocurrency.

Commitment to Bitcoin Investment

The decision by Block, Inc. to bolster its Bitcoin holdings underscores the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency as a mainstream investment vehicle. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block, emphasized this commitment, stating, “Our investment in Bitcoin transcends technology; it is an investment in a future where economic empowerment is the norm.”

Despite the focus on Bitcoin, Block, Inc. clarified that less than 3% of its resources are currently dedicated to Bitcoin-related projects. However, the company has revised its earnings expectations, projecting annual adjusted core earnings of at least $2.76 billion.

Block, Inc. began buying 4,709 Bitcoin in October 2020, marking the beginning of its history of smart Bitcoin purchases. 3,318 BTC were added in February 2021 as a result of more investments. Block declared holding 8,038 BTC, worth $573 million, as of March 31, 2024.

Despite seeing large returns on its Bitcoin investments, Block, Inc.’s stock has dropped 9% so far this year. Reports that federal authorities are looking into the company’s compliance procedures and handling of transactions with sanctioned nations have made this downturn worse.
