  Block is @Square, @CashApp, @spiralbtc, @TIDAL, @TBD54566975, and our foundational teams who support them. We're here to build simple tools to increase access to the economy. https://block.xyz/ https://twitter.com/...

  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…

  Worse name, worse logo. I understand the challenge of trying to build an umbrella brand that can encapsulate everything from Cash App to Tidal, but... eh https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Square is changing its name to Block. The Twitter handle is @Blocks https://twitter.com/...

  I feel like someone didn't send me the memo that we were all changing our company names this quarter.

  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/...

  The company will continue to call its seller product Square, and the new corporate identity won't lead to any organizational changes https://financialpost.com/...

  Square's renaming to Block caps off years of leading the way to mainstream crypto integration. It's vastly more significant than Facebook's PR-driven “Meta” rebranding. Opinion for the Node newsletter @davidzmorris @Jack #bitcoin @square https://www.coindesk.com/...
