Jack Dorsey’s Block Shifts Focus to Bitcoin Wallets Amid Funding Cuts and Market Challenges

On November 8th, COINOTAG News reported that Block (SQ), the payment venture established by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is shifting its focus towards developing hardware wallets tailored for Bitcoin (BTC) miners. The initiative includes plans for a self-custody crypto wallet, powered in part by reallocating resources previously devoted to the ambitious “Web5” project, which was unveiled in June 2022. This strategic pivot coincided with a significant political event, as newly elected President Trump emphasized a commitment to nurturing a more crypto-friendly regulatory framework in the United States, bolstering sectors like Bitcoin mining. Furthermore, Block shared its third-quarter results, revealing revenues of $5.98 billion, which unfortunately fell short of the analysts’ expectation of $6.24 billion as reported by FactSet. As a consequence, the company’s stock experienced a notable dip, plummeting 10% during the trading session.
