Block Inc. Expands Corporate Bitcoin Holdings to Nearly 9,000 BTC

Block Inc., the payments company founded by Jack Dorsey, has strengthened its position as a major corporate Bitcoin holder. The company added 114 Bitcoin during the first quarter of 2026, bringing its corporate treasury to approximately 9,000 BTC.

The proof-of-reserves system launched by Block enables on-chain verification of its Bitcoin holdings without requiring access to private keys. This approach eliminates reliance on company disclosures alone and creates a trustless verification mechanism.

Block's transparency initiative follows the 2022 FTX collapse, which exposed critical gaps in crypto industry accountability. The exchange's failure revealed how companies could mishandle customer funds without adequate oversight.
