Block Inc., Jack Dorsey’s financial technology startup, is planning to sack up to 10% of its staff. The goal of this action is to increase productivity and streamline processes. By the end of 2025, the company employed just under 11,000 people.
Roles are being examined as part of the yearly performance appraisals, employees were told internally. In the upcoming weeks, final judgements are anticipated. Block’s continuous reorganisation initiatives, which have been going on for a number of years, include this step.
Block runs companies like Square, Cash App, and a number of projects centred around Bitcoin. The business has been streamlining its organisational structure and reallocating resources to areas with greater potential for development and profitability. It has also increased its use of automation and internal tools, including an in-house AI assistant.
The planned cuts come as growth in Square’s merchant business slows and competition in digital payments remains intense. Investors are closely watching cost controls ahead of Block’s upcoming earnings report.
