BTCS Inc. (BTCS), a Nasdaq-listed crypto strategy firm focused on Ethereum, has made a significant announcement aimed at rewarding long-term investors and discouraging short-selling. The company will distribute a first-of-its-kind ether (ETH) dividend to shareholders, marking a pioneering move in the financial sector. The dividend, dubbed "Bividend," amounts to $0.05 per share and can be received either in ETH or cash [1].In addition to the dividend, BTCS is offering a $0.35 per share loyalty payment in ETH to shareholders who move their stock into book entry with the company’s transfer agent for at least 120 days. This move aims to reward long-term investors and combat short selling, making it harder for shares to be borrowed for short sales [1].
The company’s CEO, Charles Allen, highlighted a disconnect between the company's asset value and stock price. BTCS advanced 7% on the news, while other digital asset treasury stocks declined. The stock traded at $4.41 per share as of August 15, 2025, despite holding approximately $6.65 per share in cash and digital assets [1].
Wall Street analysts project a 58.73% upside for BTCS, with an average one-year price target of $7.00. The company holds an "Outperform" rating with a recommendation of 2.0 [2].
Shareholders have until September 26, 2025, to opt-in for the dividend and qualify for the loyalty payment. This initiative underscores BTCS's commitment to rewarding loyal shareholders and addressing market inefficiencies.
