The Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut of 0.25 percentage points to a target of 4% to 4.25% aims to stimulate the economy but poses challenges for Block (formerly Square). The company's revenue, primarily from payment processing, could be impacted as lower interest rates reduce earnings from Cash App balances and lending activities. This may lead to decreased interest revenue and tighter margins, despite Square earning approximately $117.8 million in interest revenue in the first half of 2025.
