Certainly, Square’s Cash app’s Q3 report attributes the majority of revenue to Bitcoin. Specifically, 80% of revenue.
Said report shows that Bitcoin has outperformed all other sources of income. And it represents 80% of its total revenue of $ 2 billion in the third quarter.
The Square report
In fact, in the third quarter, Square’s Cash app has marked a Bitcoin (BTC) revenue increase of 1,100% year-over-year.
In this way, users have been heavily leveraging their Bitcoin service. Which marked $ 32 million in gross profit for the third quarter, breaking the prior year from $ 2.1 million.
Thus, Bitcoin revenue was the most important factor, equating to 78% of Cash App’s total $ 2 billion revenue. All other revenue streams, accounting for the remaining 22%, totaled $ 453 millions.
Thus, the Square report attributes the increase in sales to the Cash App Auto-Invest tool. It allows users to automate periodic daily or weekly purchases of BTC or traditional stocks.
In this regard, Square explained: “When customers buy Bitcoin through the Cash app, we only apply a small markup to the market cost. Which tends to be volatile and out of our control”.
The Cash App
By the way, Cash App is a payment solution app that also works as a Bitcoin broker. Charging a small commission on the purchase of users. For example, the payments firm, obtained $ 1.63 billion from its Bitcoin service.
