BTCS Makes Crypto History: First-Ever Ether Dividend + Anti-Short Selling Loyalty Bonus

Breaking the mold—and possibly some short sellers' hearts—BTCS just dropped a blockchain bombshell.

Ether as dividend? Check.
The company announced it will distribute Ethereum payouts to shareholders, marking the first-ever crypto dividend of its kind. No fiat middlemen, just pure DeFi disruption.

Hostile to hedge funds? Absolutely.
A loyalty bonus program tacked onto the dividend explicitly targets short sellers, rewarding long-term holders with extra ETH. Wall Street's usual playbook just got a crypto-shaped wrench thrown in it.

Why it matters:
This isn’t just corporate theater. By weaponizing Ether distributions, BTCS is forcing traditional finance to confront crypto’s structural advantages—while exposing how archaic shareholder mechanics look in 2025. (Bonus jab: Watch hedge funds suddenly 'discover' the virtues of hodling now that it costs them.)

The market’s verdict? Either a genius capital allocation move or proof that crypto companies would rather burn bridges than build them. Either way—it’s entertainment.
