‘First-Ever Dividend Payable in Bitcoin by a Nasdaq-Listed Company’
Blockchain company BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) announced Wednesday “the first-ever dividend payable in bitcoin by a Nasdaq-listed company.” BTCS refers to the dividend as Bividend.
Charles Allen, BTCS’ CEO, commented:
We are the first Nasdaq-listed company to pay a Bividend, a dividend payable in bitcoin at the option of our shareholders.
“BTCS intends to pay $0.05 per share in bitcoin, based on the bitcoin price on the ex-dividend date. Investors who do not elect to receive the Bividend in bitcoin will receive a cash dividend of $0.05,” the company detailed.
