Square Reveals 72% Surge in Bitcoin Buys – BTC, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Binance Coin, Bitcoin Cash, Tron, EOS, Cardano, Stellar Forecasts
Square is reporting a surge in Bitcoin buys on its popular Cash App.
In the first quarter of 2019, the company’s sales of BTC to its mobile app users jumped 72% over the previous quarter, from 10,025 BTC to 17,269 BTC. The numbers are from January through March, and don’t include a likely boost in trading during Bitcoin’s big rise above $5,000 in early April.
The company reports adjusted revenues at $489.05 million, up 59.4% year over year and up 5.3% from the previous quarter.
Crypto analysts are taking a look at the historic rise in Bitcoin sales on Cash App over the past year in order to gauge where things may head in the next two quarters.
