<h2 id="header-0">Fintech company Block, owned by Jack Dorsey, has announced a 25% YoY increase in Bitcoin revenue from its Cash App, reporting an impressive $2.16 billion in Q1.</h2><p>As per Block&#39;s shareholder letter, the significant revenues generated from Bitcoin were due to a rise in the number of Bitcoin sold to customers, but this increase was partially counterbalanced by a decline in Bitcoin&#39;s market price in comparison to the same period last year. The firm&#39;s earnings per share were 40 cents, which beat analyst expectations of 35 cents per share by 14%, with the first-quarter revenue rising 26% YoY. Cash App&#39;s total profits reached over $931 million in Q1, a 49% YoY increase. However, Cash App&#39;s profit paled in comparison to the company&#39;s gross profit, which came in at $1.71 billion.</p><p>During the earnings conference call, Block&#39;s CEO <a href="https://coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/jack-dorseys-block-creates-a-bitcoin-mining-chip" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jack Dorsey</a>  highlighted the importance of leveraging artificial intelligence and &#34;open protocols&#34; to proactively address the &#34;significant shifts&#34; occurring in the global financial system, pointing to ongoing US bank failures and de-dollarization as the main factors driving this need for change.</p><p>Block&#39;s share price saw a positive response from the equities market after its earnings report was released, with a 5% surge to $63.50 in after-hours trading and ultimately settling at a 2.5% gain. This was a welcome change for Block, as its share price had been steadily declining since a critical report was released by short sellers Hindenburg Research, causing a significant 25% drop.</p><h3 id="block-39-s-q1-earnings-show-strong-growth-despite-critical-report-by-hindenburg-research">Block&#39;s Q1 Earnings Show Strong Growth Despite Critical Report by Hindenburg Research</h3><p>Hindenburg Research released a critical report on Block on March 23, accusing the fintech firm of exploiting the people it purports to assist and facilitating a fraud against consumers and the government for <a href="https://coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/tech-industry-mourns-the-loss-of-cash-app-creator-bob-lee" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cash App</a>&#39;s success. Block denied the allegations and dismissed the report as misleading and intended to misinform investors after reviewing it with its data.</p><p>Despite the Hindenburg report&#39;s allegations, Block&#39;s Q1 earnings report shows a strong growth trajectory for the fintech firm, with Bitcoin revenue from Cash App continuing to be a major contributor to its profits. As the company continues to innovate and adapt to the changing financial landscape, it remains to be seen whether it can sustain this growth in the long term.</p>
