Block Inc. is the fintech juggernaut formerly known as Square, cranking out payment tools like Square's card readers for small businesses, Cash App for zipping money around and dipping into stocks or Bitcoin, and even Tidal for streaming tunes, all under the banner of "economic empowerment" through tech wizardry. It kicked off when Jack Dorsey (yeah, the Twitter guy) and Jim McKelvey dreamed up a way for anyone to accept credit cards on their phone, ballooning into a global empire that's tangled with regulators over crypto while championing digital finance for the masses.

Block's got the full rainbow package, pumping out diversity reports, funneling cash into racial equity pledges, signing up to fight anti-LGBTQ laws faster than a viral tweet, and slapping ESG labels on their ops to greenwash the crypto carbon guilt. They've got microgrants for LGBTQ entrepreneurs and community investments that scream "inclusion for all," making them the poster child for corporate virtue-signaling.
