Surging Bitcoin Boosts Profits in Jack Dorsey’s Square

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Twitter and electronic payments firm Square, makes good Yankee dollars on Bitcoin.

Surging demand for the cryptocurrency drove Square's first quarter profit to 41 cents a share, exceeding Wall Street's consensus estimate of 16 cents by about 156%.

Square's Cash App allows customers to purchase the cryptocurrency.
