Block Inc. (ISIN US8522341036) stock is trading around USD 80 as of September 8, 2026, a level that some valuation models describe as modestly above the company’s estimated intrinsic value and that coincides with a new strategic move toward a national trust bank for digital assets.
Trust bank charter application puts Block in the spotlight
As of September 8, 2026, Block disclosed that it has applied to federal regulators in the United States to charter a new national trust bank focused on digital asset custody, a step that immediately drew market attention after the regular session close, according to Investing.com.
Investing.com reported that Block stock rose about 2.9 percent in after-hours trading on September 8, 2026 following the disclosure of the trust bank charter application, suggesting investors see the move as a potential catalyst for the company’s digital asset services strategy.Investing.com
