Digital payments firm Square said on Thursday that it was buying a controlling stake in the streaming music platform Tidal from a group led by rap star Jay-Z for $297 million in cash and stock.

A statement from Square, the finance tech firm led by Jack Dorsey, who is also the chief executive of Twitter said, “The acquisition extends Square’s purpose of economic empowerment to a new vertical: musicians”

“It comes down to one simple idea: finding new ways for artists to support their work,” said Dorsey.

“New ideas are found at intersections, and we believe there’s a compelling one between music and the economy.”
