BTCS, a company listed on Nasdaq, has made history by becoming the first business to pay dividends directly in Ethereum (ETH)—called "Bividend" worth 0.05 USD/share (can be received in ETH or cash). Moreover, they also offer an additional "loyalty reward" of 0.35 USD/share in ETH if you convert your shares to book-entry mode and hold until January 26, 2026. In total, shareholders can accumulate 0.40 USD/share in ETH—extremely attractive.

This move not only rewards long-term shareholders but also locks in loyal investors and tightens the amount of shares that can be borrowed for short selling, making it difficult for short sellers to impact the market.
