Happy Friday, Blockfolians
The Lede
What a week. Bitcoin smashes through $15,000. Prediction markets completely out perform the pollsters.
Hiding in among all of the news onslaught was this juicy little nugget. For the first time, Square reported more than a billion dollars in quarterly bitcoin revenue. And it wasn’t just a smidge over $1B either.
$1.63B in revenue - 11x annual growth
$32M in bitcoin profit - 15x annual growth
This growth shows continued steady increases in consumer interest in bitcoin. With the price rises that we’ve seen this week, that’s sure to do nothing but increase.

Remember those Silk Road linked coins we talked about the other day? Turns out the US seized them - biggest digital asset seizure ever.
Final Thought
It’s glorious.
