Twitter CEO Buys Australian ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ Afterpay for $39bn

Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey’s digital payments platform, Square, announced on Monday that it entered a $39 billion (US$29 bn) agreement to acquire one of Australia’s leading buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) companies, Afterpay.

Article by Rebecca Zhu from our partners at The Epoch Times.

“Square and Afterpay have a shared purpose,” Square CEO Jack Dorsey said in a joint statement. “We built our business to make the financial system more fair, accessible, and inclusive, and Afterpay has built a trusted brand aligned with those principles.”

The transaction is based on the closing price of Square common stock on July 30, 2021. This comes to a transaction price of approximately $126.21 (US$92.85) per Afterpay share, or a premium of over 30 percent to Afterpay’s closing price on Friday ($96.66).

It is expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2022, and Square expects Afterpay shareholders to own around 18.5 percent of the combined company.

IRA BERSHATSKY LOVES AMERICA – Most precious metals companies are run by wokesters. Ira’s is not. He is unabashedly AMERICA FIRST and can help you move wealth or retirement to physical precious metals with a gold or silver IRA, or just get metals discreetly shipped to your door. Contact him now.

“Buy now, pay later has been a powerful growth tool for sellers globally,” Head of Square’s Seller Alyssa Henry said. “We are thrilled to not only add this product to our Seller ecosystem but to do it with a trusted and innovative team.”

Afterpay will be integrated into Square after the deal is finished, and Afterpay co-founders Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen will continue to lead their business under Square’s Seller and Cash App systems.

Molnar and Eisen said that combining with Square would enable them to further accelerate growth in the United States and around the world.

“We are fully aligned with Square’s purpose and, together, we hope to continue redefining financial wellness and responsible spending for our customers,” they said. “The transaction marks an important recognition of the Australian technology sector as homegrown innovation continues to be shared more broadly throughout the world.”

The Australian Stock Exchange hit a new high in the morning, shortly after the announcement, and closed 1.3 percent higher. Afterpay shares also ended the day up 18.8 percent at $114.80.

BNPL has seen rapid growing popularity in Australia, with a report (pdf) by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) in Nov. 2020 revealing a 90 percent increase in BNPL transactions during the 2018-19 financial year compared to the previous one.

BNPL providers allow customers to pay their transactions in instalments without interest. Instead, customers are charged for late and missed repayments.

While the current number of BNPL transactions is still a small fraction of all payments, most people who take up the payment system are younger Australians.

In July, it was reported that Apple would soon launch its own BNPL system.

The Biden Regime and Globalists Don’t Want You Owning Precious Metals

Look around. Things aren’t the way they should be. Between Pandemic Panic Theater, Ukraine, food shortages, and a push for Central Bank Digital Currencies, everything you’ve spent your life building and protecting is in jeopardy.

Precious metals are historically the most reliable and safest hedge against economic turmoil. With the Biden regime and globalists enhancing the chaos, it’s important for patriotic Americans to take control of their financial future.

Ira Bershatsky offers consultations to those who want to invest in precious metals. During these consultations, he will match your current financial situation with the best physical precious metal purchases whether you want to rollover your IRA or have coins discreetly shipped to your home. You will not talk to a telemarketer or sales rep. You will talk to a true expert in precious metals with decades of experience helping people protect and advance their wealth.

Fill out the form here and we will schedule a precious metals consultation with Our Gold Guy, Ira.
