Fintech company Block (SQ) has announced its bitcoin (BTC) revenue for the fourth quarter in its Cash App unit, which amounted to $1.83 billion.
This figure represents a 7% year-over-year decline but is higher than the $1.76 billion reported in the third quarter. Block records the total sale amount of bitcoin to customers as revenue.
Despite the year-over-year decline, the company’s bitcoin revenue and gross profit were slightly better than expected. Cash App generated $35 million in bitcoin gross profit for the quarter, down 25% from the previous year and slightly less than the $37 million reported in the third quarter.
Block attributed the decline in bitcoin revenue
Block attributed the decline in bitcoin revenue and gross profit to the fall in the price of bitcoin, according to the company’s quarterly shareholder letter released on Thursday. For the full year of 2022, Cash App generated $7.11 billion of bitcoin revenue and $156 million of bitcoin gross profit, down 29% and 28%, respectively, from the previous year.
Block recorded an impairment charge of $9 million in the fourth quarter on its bitcoin investment, compared to $2 million in the third quarter. For the full year of 2022, Block recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $47 million. However, as of December 31, the fair value of bitcoin investment was $133 million based on “observable market prices,” which was $30 million greater than the carrying value of the investment after impairment charges, the company noted.
In terms of its overall financial performance, Block reported adjusted earnings per share of 22 cents on $4.65 billion in revenue, compared to analyst estimates of EPS of 30 cents and revenue of $4.63 billion, according to FactSet.
