On Jan. four, Square (NYSE:SQ) chief executive officer Jack Dorsey converted 100,000 Class B shares into Class A shares and then sold the Square stock at an average price of $219.53.
Why #Squarepocalypse Isn’t a Real Concern to Square Stock
The stock sale is actually a component of planned sales by the billionaire co founder. He soon started the weekly sales of 100,000 shares on Nov. sixteen. Since that time, he’s sold 700,000 shares by using his latest divestiture on Jan. four.
To estimate the entire sales, he likely generated $160 million in pre tax proceeds. Heck, even billionaires have bills to pay.
When you are considering selling based on these planned sales, don’t. Square’s got ample space to manage in 2021.

Square Stock Hits $300 Square stock is today trading at at least $240. Since Jan. one, the stock is up over 10 %.
And that is along with the 245 % gains it achieved in 2020, something I’d a suspicion would happen. Here is what I published on Jan. three, 2020:
Since Q3 2017, Square’s GPV [gross payment volume] from sellers with an annual GPV of around $500,000 grew 700 basis points to twenty seven %. Meanwhile, those sellers with a yearly GPV of less than $125,000 dropped 700 basis points to forty five %. At the same time, sellers with between $125,000 and $500,000 in GPV increased by 100 basis points to twenty eight %. Exactly why is this important? It shows that the company’s revenue is now a lot more diversified; it today gains from fee processing across businesses of all sizes.
How is it doing a year later on this front?
In the third quarter of 2020, sellers with annual GPV greater than $500,000 accounted for 30.6 % of the $28.8 billion in seller GPV. That is up 270 basis points from the earlier 12 months. Sellers with annual GPV between $125,000 and $500,000 were $8.7 billion in Q3 2020, or perhaps 10.1 % higher than in the third quarter a year earlier. These 2 groups accounted for 61 % of seller GPV within Q3 2020, 500 basis points higher compared to the previous year.
Sure, sellers with yearly GPV less than $125,000 still accounted for thirty nine % of overall seller GPV, but it shows bigger companies’ acceptance fee, which is important to its ongoing development.
To get to $300 sooner in 2021, two things have to keep growing: Cash App, its finance app, and therefore Square Capital, its lending platform.
