BTCS Rewards Shareholders with Ethereum Dividend
In a bold and innovative move, Ethereum treasury firm BTCS has announced a one-time dividend of $0.40 per share, to be paid out directly in Ethereum ( ETH ). The firm is calling it a “loyalty dividend,” aimed at incentivizing long-term investors and discouraging short-selling behavior in the stock market .
This marks one of the first public crypto-treasury companies to use on-chain ETH payments as a shareholder reward mechanism. The initiative not only underlines BTCS’s commitment to blockchain integration but also introduces a new paradigm in corporate dividends.
ETH Payments Signal a New Approach to Shareholder Value
Unlike traditional dividend payments made in fiat currency, BTCS’s ETH dividend offers shareholders direct exposure to crypto. Eligible shareholders will receive the equivalent of $0.40 per share in ETH, transferred to their personal Ethereum wallets.
This unique approach gives investors immediate control over their crypto assets and reinforces the firm’s long-standing support of decentralized finance ( DeFi ) principles. It’s also a direct way to share part of BTCS’s Ethereum treasury with its stakeholders—building loyalty and reinforcing confidence in the company’s blockchain vision.
A Message to Short-Sellers
Beyond rewarding long-term holders, the ETH dividend is also designed to deter short-sellers. By issuing a cryptocurrency-based reward, BTCS adds complexity and cost for those betting against the company’s stock. Since dividends are paid on-chain, short-sellers may face challenges in meeting dividend obligations, effectively putting pressure on their positions.
This move positions BTCS as both a crypto innovator and a savvy public company, using blockchain not just as a product, but as a tool for investor engagement and stock defense.
