BTCS will be the first in the world to start paying dividends in Ethereum
🇺🇸 The public company BTCS announced the distribution of dividends directly in ETH:
— $0.05 in ETH per share — one-time dividend;
— $0.35 in ETH per share — bonus for shareholders who transfer the securities to the transfer agent and hold them until January 26, 2026.
🪙 Total: $0.40 in ETH per share.
💬 BTCS emphasizes: the goal is to encourage long-term holders and reduce pressure from shorts. This is the first case when a public company pays dividends in Ethereum.
📈 The importance of this step goes beyond marketing. For shareholders, it is an opportunity to receive income directly in a liquid digital asset, without banking intermediaries.
A new trend is forming: cryptocurrencies are beginning to compete with deposits as an income-generating tool. While dividends used to come in cash to a bank account, now it’s ETH to a wallet.
💡 This format reduces dependence on traditional infrastructure and normalizes crypto as a means of accumulation and payment. If other public companies adopt this practice, banks risk losing their monopoly on the role of "base asset" for investors.
