Square officially filed documents to become a publicly listed company Wednesday. 

It's been a busy couple of weeks for Square's CEO and founder, Jack Dorsey.

On October 5, Twitter announced that Dorsey would be staying on as the company's permanent CEO. He had been named interim CEO of Twitter after Dick Costolo stepped down from his post in July.
