Square Inc. said Tuesday it bought $170 million in the aggregate worth of bitcoin.

The payments company said it has bought about 3,318 bitcoins. This purchase is on top of the company's prior purchase of $50 million worth of the cryptocurrency.

Square said Tuesday that with both purchases, the cryptocurrency represents about 5% of the company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the end of last year.
