    Bividend Benefits and Rationale

    This Bividend rewards our shareholders for their continued support while encouraging financial freedom by providing an onramp to owning Ethereum. BTCS has a long history of being first in the digital asset industry, and this Bividend will make BTCS the first public company in the world to issue a dividend in ETH. Along with the $0.05 per share Bividend payment, BTCS is offering a $0.35 per share Loyalty Payment to encourage shareholders to move their shares to Book Entry at the transfer agent, thereby preventing them from being lent to short sellers who are betting against BTCS.

    Capitalize on Market Dislocation

    At the time the Board approved the Bividend, BTCS’s share price was trading below the value of our cash and digital assets on hand.

    Reward Shareholders

    BTCS wants to reward our long-time shareholders with a Bividend and Loyalty Payment for their continued support.

    Protect Against Market Manipulation

    By offering a Loyalty Payment, shareholders are incentivized to keep their shares at the transfer agent, preventing them from being lent to short sellers.

    Promote Crypto Adoption

    The Bividend gives our shareholders the opportunity to hold ETH directly.
