Sony bought Square stock in order to financially aid them which in turn gave them some influence in the company they further bought more in 2001 for further aid, it's also said that Sony gave Square a huge discount in license fees and such to help sway them from going to Sega. When Square merged with Enix they no longer needed any financing plus the the merger reduced Sony's influence over Square so the shares were sold see below.
