TREE NEWS update: Block has booked $764 million for a planned deferred-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice over a Bank Secrecy Act charge, with final terms and court approval still pending. The company’s bitcoin business generated about 2.9 cents of gross profit per dollar of revenue in the third quarter, down from 5.1 cents a year earlier.

The size of the reserve signals Block is treating the deferred-prosecution outcome as a near-certain cost rather than a contingency, which matters for how the market prices compliance risk at crypto-adjacent fintechs. The simultaneous disclosure that bitcoin gross profit per revenue dollar has roughly halved sharpens the question of whether the legacy bitcoin franchise still offsets such charges. Whether the DOJ agreement is finalized on these terms, and whether bitcoin unit economics stabilize, are the open questions.
