BTCS Becomes First to Offer Ethereum Dividend
BTCS offers the first-ever Ethereum dividend, plus a $0.35 ETH loyalty reward for long-term shareholders.
- BTCS announces a $0.05 per share Ethereum dividend.
- Loyalty bonus of $0.35 ETH per share for long-term holders.
- Shareholders must use BTCS transfer agent to qualify.
In a groundbreaking move, BTCS Inc. has become the first publicly traded company to offer a dividend in Ethereum (ETH). The company announced it will pay shareholders a one-time “Bividend” of $0.05 per share, issued directly in ETH. This marks a historic milestone, signaling a growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in traditional finance and investor rewards.
Unlike standard cash dividends, this Ethereum dividend represents a bold step towards blockchain-based shareholder engagement. The term “Bividend” highlights the combination of blockchain technology and traditional dividend structure.
Loyalty Rewards for Long-Term Holders
BTCS is also encouraging long-term investment through a special loyalty program. Shareholders who move their holdings to book-entry form with BTCS’s transfer agent and keep them there until January 26, 2026, will receive an additional $0.35 per share in ETH.
This Ethereum loyalty payment is designed to reward investor trust and reduce friction between traditional brokerage systems and blockchain-based ownership. It also encourages direct relationships between the company and its shareholders.
How to Qualify for the Bividend and Loyalty Bonus
To receive the initial $0.05 Ethereum dividend, investors must be shareholders of record by the eligibility date specified by BTCS. To qualify for the $0.35 loyalty bonus, shares must be transferred to book-entry and held there for over a year.
BTCS’s move aligns with its vision of blockchain adoption and investor-first initiatives. As Ethereum becomes more widely adopted, this could be the start of a new trend in public companies integrating crypto into their shareholder rewards.
