9:36Now PlayingBlock's next growth chapter will likely come from improving profitability, with greater engagement and product penetration among existing clients and better operating leverage. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the stock's addition to the S&P 500 should accelerate passive investment flows. The Square Seller ecosystem is upselling to larger merchants, expanding overseas and leveraging Cash App to connect sellers and consumer platforms. Cash App is among the top US apps, with 57 million monthly actives in March. Direct deposits are gaining traction, and better unit economics can aid medium-term gross profit.
Amrita Ahuja, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Block, discusses the company's trajectory as well as the importance of cryptocurrency - especially Bitcoin - to its customer base. Amrita speaks with Tim Stenovec, Emily Graffeo and Nina Trentmann on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
