What each one does

Coinbase. Coinbase is America's largest cryptocurrency platform: where individuals and institutions buy, sell and custody bitcoin and company. Its income statement mirrors the crypto market: euphoric in bull cycles, deserted in the winters.

Block. Block is the home of Square and Cash App: the terminals and software collecting payments for millions of small merchants, and the finance app where tens of millions of Americans store, send and invest money — bitcoin included, founder Jack Dorsey's confessed obsession.
