Cash App Influxed the Major Revenue

The report also suggested the major revenue was from the Bitcoin profits from the Cash App, a mobile payment system developed by the company. The bitcoin profits on Cash App increased 600 percent in the Q2 and 711 percent year after year.

The Cash Appโ€™s share in the companyโ€™s revenue nearly doubled from the last quarter. With 1.24 percent of the contribution to the companyโ€™s total gross profit in the first quarter, it jumped to 2.85 percent in the second quarter.

The increase in the bitcoin profits clearly indicates the rise in the buys and sells of the digital asset on the Cash App. The app users also witness a surge from 24 million in December 2019 to 30 million users who carried out transactions in June 2020. As per reports, the active users transacted more than 15 times in a month which is 2 times the previous quarter.

โ€œWhile transactions per customer have increased over time, we recognize that engagement during the second quarter also benefited from the government funds related to the stimulus and unemployment benefits,โ€ the letter to the shareholder stated.

Bitcoin as a Store of Value than Payments 

The editor in chief of Martyโ€™s Bent, a daily Bitcoin newsletter, Marty Bent speculated the probable bitcoin bull run in the market with the surge in the bitcoin volume.

Similarly, many other analysts also expressed their pleasure with the increase in bitcoin revenue. Kevin Rooke presented the quarterly bitcoin revenue of the company.

However, a bitcoin educator and developer Jimmy Song, anticipated that Bitcoin might be used only as a store value rather than a means of payment. He hints Cash App as a place to buy Bitcoin and adds that the places to buy Bitcoin are popular whereas places to sell (merchant) arenโ€™t. 

Bitcoin bullish trend may continue to bloom in the crypto market. Especially, in the pandemic situation, the bitcoin volume surged multiple times across some of the crypto exchanges. This certainly points to the fact that the people are getting into bitcoin and other crypto-assets than just traditional financial instruments.
