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.

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 →
