Q1 Snapshot Shows Steady Bitcoin Holdings

The company’s update indicates that there hasn’t been much change since December 2025 when it reported holding a large number of Bitcoins in the treasury worth millions of dollars.

  • The total amount held by the company is estimated to be just shy of 9,000 BTC for the quarter, indicating the company was holding onto its Bitcoins for at least a year.

According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Block, Inc. ranks around 14th globally among public Bitcoin holders, placing it behind firms like Tesla with roughly 11,500 BTC and the industry’s leader Strategy with over 818,000 BTC.

Long-term Bet

Block has been holding Bitcoin since October 2020, with an average cost basis of around $32,939 per BTC, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries. With Bitcoin trading far above that level through 2025-2026, that implies gains of roughly +130% on paper.

The disclosure lands during a major reset inside the company. In February 2026, Block said it would cut over 4,000 jobs, nearly half of its workforce, as part of a broader shift to integrate AI across operations, Reuters reported.

  • It should be noted that Block said the numbers were provided only for a particular moment in time and not included any sort of audit.
