Digital payments company Block Inc., formerly known as Square, has finished the development of its Bitcoin mining chip as Chief Executive Jack Dorsey continues to advocate for a more accessible and decentralized system — an effort he’s championed since 2021.

The three-nanometer chip could be a major player in the fast-growing mining industry because such chips are a key component in creating some of the most advanced computers.
