Block to reduce workforce by more than 40%

On February 26, 2026, the company announced a workforce reduction restructuring plan designed to better align its organizational structure with its operating model and strategic priorities. “As part of the Workforce Plan, we expect to reduce our current workforce by more than 40%. The Company currently estimates that we will incur charges of approximately $450 million to $500 million in connection with the Workforce Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for notice period and severance payments, employee benefits, and related costs as well as non-cash expenses related to vesting of share-based awards. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring charges will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and that the execution of the Workforce Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and the actual costs incurred may differ materially from those initial estimates.”
