 Tarihi 

 2009: An tsara shi 
The original inspiration for Block's first product "Square" occurred to Jack Dorsey in 2009 when his friend Jim McKelvey was unable to complete a $2,000 sale of his glass faucets and fittings because he could not accept credit cards. Co-founders Dorsey—who also co-founded Twitter—and McKelvey began developing the company out of a small office in St. Louis. The name "Square" derives from the company's square-shaped card reader product.

Tidal is a high-definition music streaming service with a catalog of over 100 million songs across various genres. It only offers a subscription based plan. Originally launched in 2014 by Aspiro, a Norwegian company, Tidal was purchased in 2015 by American rapper Jay-Z for $56 million, reportedly to "give artists more control over the distribution of their music". At that time, Tidal was available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Republic of Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. In 2021, Block took majority ownership of Tidal for $297 million, stating it aimed to find "new ways for artists to support their work" and to create "tools that can help support musicians' businesses". Tidal was then operating in a streaming market dominated by Spotify and others, and was paying "better royalty rates" to artists than its rivals including Spotify. In May 2023, Wired reported that Tidal's “Direct Artist Payouts” scheme, in which up to 10 percent of a user's subscription fee was delivered to the artists they listened to most, had been discontinued in 2022. According to Wired, the scheme was "thoughtful" and supportive of bands and artists, and its closure reduced some of Tidal's market differentiation. In November 2024, Block announced it was "scaling back" investments in Tidal after reports emerged that the company was laying off Tidal employees. Block added it was eliminating Tidal's product management and product marketing functions entirely and that Tidal would become a smaller entity, focusing on fewer areas while emphasizing product development.
