SEC filings
137
Stake 81.0M reported shares ≈ 13.3% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 26/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction No open-market buys or sales in the last year 5/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 137 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

On the record with shareholders

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Aug 5, 2026 Dorsey's argument was that the models are the commodity and the capability around them is not. He said Block deliberately stayed model-agnostic — building its own harness, its own orchestration and its own evaluation layer — so that a better model arriving is an upgrade rather than a dependency, and that what cannot be rented is the two-sided data Square and Cash App generate. He asked to be judged on shipping velocity rather than on the reorganisation itself: AI now touches essentially every production code change, code changes per engineer are up 150% since January, and Square shipped 130 features in the first half against a third as many a year earlier. The same in-house habit, he said, produced Cash App Tags — hardware as a viral acquisition engine, the card reader's playbook run again fifteen years later. Read the call · 5 quotes →
