BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) will distribute a one-time blockchain dividend in Ethereum (ETH), marking the company’s latest push to integrate digital assets into shareholder rewards.
The payout, announced by CEO Charles Allen, will include a $0.05 per share Ethereum distribution, branded as a “Bividend.” In addition, shareholders who transfer their holdings into book entry with BTCS’s transfer agent and retain them through January 26, 2026, will qualify for an additional $0.35 per share in ETH as part of a loyalty program. Combined, eligible investors stand to receive up to $0.40 per share in Ethereum.

The initiative is designed not only to reward long-term holders but also to counteract short selling pressures.
“By rewarding shareholders who hold at our transfer agent, we block predatory short sellers, cut manipulation, and build a stronger base,”
Allen stated. He emphasized that his strategy is focused on growing BTCS’s market capitalization through price appreciation rather than stock dilution.
BTCS highlighted the disparity between its market value and underlying assets as a driving force behind the move. As of August 15, the company’s stock closed at $4.41 per share, while its balance sheet reflected $6.65 per share in cash and digital assets. The Ethereum distribution, according to management, underscores both this gap and the company’s financial strength.
This marks BTCS’s second blockchain-based dividend initiative following its 2022 Bitcoin “Bividend.” The firm described the Ethereum payment as a milestone in rewarding shareholder loyalty and further embedding crypto into its corporate strategy.
Existing shareholders will receive the $0.05 ETH distribution automatically, while those opting into book entry with the transfer agent will secure the higher loyalty bonus. Noncompliant positions will not qualify for the additional payout.
