Insider Transactions: Director Anthony Eisen
Block Inc. has recently disclosed a series of private sales conducted by its director, Anthony Eisen, pursuant to Rule 144. The Form 4 filings indicate that Eisen sold batches of 6,000 shares on multiple dates throughout October 2026, with each transaction executed through a broker‑dealer on the New York Stock Exchange. These sales were carried out under the framework of a Rule 10b‑5 trading plan adopted earlier in the year.

No other material corporate actions or disclosures were noted in the filings, suggesting that the director’s transactions were routine and compliant with SEC regulations.
