Ethereum treasury company BTCS Inc. will issue a one-time Ether dividend and a loyalty payment, totaling $0.40 per share in ETH, to reward shareholders and limit “predatory short-selling.” “These payments are designed to reward our long-term shareholders and empower them to take control of their investment by reducing the ability of their shares to be lent to predatory short-sellers,” the Bitcoin miner-turned Ethereum company said on Monday.  BTCS said it would be the first publicly traded company to issue a dividend in ETH, a move seemingly received well by investors as BTCS shares rose 10.4% on the day. ETH “Bividend” to be paid in September The ETH dividend — dubbed the “Bividend” — of $0.05 per share will be paid on Sept. 26, while the $0.35 per share “Loyalty Payment” will be paid in ETH to those holding the shares until Jan. 26, 2026. The loyalty payment will be offered to all shareholders except officers, directors and employees, the company noted.
