BTCS is making waves by becoming the first publicly traded company to pay dividends in Ethereum! This isn’t your grandpa’s dividend check.
Ethereum Dividends: A First for Public Companies
Instead of the usual cash payout, BTCS is giving its shareholders a one-time Ethereum dividend (they call it a “Bividend”) of $0.05 per share. This is a big deal, showing how blockchain technology could change how companies reward investors.
Bonus for Loyal Shareholders
BTCS is sweetening the deal for long-term holders. If you keep your shares in book-entry form until January 26, 2026, you’ll get an extra $0.35 per share in ETH! That’s a total of $0.40 per share in ETH – a pretty significant reward. The company says this is also a way to protect against short-selling.
Why is BTCS Doing This?
BTCS sees this move as more than just a payout; it’s a statement. They’re showing their commitment to blockchain technology and building trust with their investors.
Bitmine’s Massive Ethereum Holdings
Meanwhile, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) is making headlines with its massive Ethereum holdings. They now hold over 1.5 million ETH, making them the world’s largest holder of ETH in their treasury. This huge investment shows growing institutional confidence in Ethereum. They also hold a smaller amount of Bitcoin, showing a diversified approach. Their holdings are second only to Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (MSTR) in terms of overall crypto treasury value.
