We're changing our company name so we can give the full @Square brand to our Seller business. So now we need a name to tie @Square, @CashApp, @TIDAL, and @TBD54566975 together into one. That name is “Block.” Why? https://twitter.com/...

Square Crypto is now Spiral. Since our formation, the spiral emoji has been a part of our brand lore, and given the opportunity to rebrand to CoinSomething or BitWhatever, we went a different way. Spiral looks and sounds cool. What other reason do we need? https://spiral.xyz/... …

$SQ changes it's name to Block. Block is an overarching ecosystem of many businesses united by their purpose of economic empowerment, and serves many people—individuals, artists, fans, developers, and sellers. https://squareup.com/...

Facebook rebranding as Meta to signal the company's future is the metaverse has set a trend. Square is now renaming itself Block implying that their future is crypto and blockchains. I guess what's left is Apple rebranding as A to imply their future is AR (or Automobiles). 😁 http…

I thought a Square is 2D and Block implies 3D (aka Web 2.0 -> web3) was too cheesy then I checked out the official website and I deadass fell out of my chair 😂🤣🙃 https://twitter.com/...
