What do the organization’s representatives say? The company explained that the increase in the price of the asset had a beneficial effect on the income from the sale of bitcoins and gross profit.

“Compared to the third quarter of 2021, bitcoin revenue and gross profit increased on a quarter-over-quarter basis, driven primarily by increased volatility in the price of ВТС, which affected trading activity compared to the prior quarter.”

What are the overall indicators? For the full year 2021, Cash App generated $17,6 billion from bitcoin trading and $218 million in gross profit. The company made a gross profit of $4,4 billion. In subsequent quarters, the first cryptocurrency profits may fluctuate depending on changes in its market value or customer demand.
