BTCS, Inc.: BTCS Engages Equity Stock Transfer as Transfer Agent for "Bividend" - the First Blockchain Dividend Payable in Ethereum

SILVER SPRING, Md. and NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) ("BTCS" or the "Company"), a blockchain technology-focused company, short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, and Equity Stock Transfer, LLC ("EST"), a fully independent SEC registered transfer agent, announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a first-of-its-kind blockchain dividend, or "Bividend", of $0.05 per share and a one-time loyalty payment of $0.35 per share, both payable in Ethereum (ETH). These distributions mark the first Ethereum-based dividend issued by a public company.

"In 2022, BTCS issued the first ever Bitcoin dividend as a Nasdaq issuer. EST created a framework to make this possible in a compliant, cost-effective, and efficient manner. BTCS is now issuing an Ethereum dividend and using the same secure framework we set in place in 2022. We could not be more delighted to be at the forefront of continued innovation," said Mohit Bhansali, CEO of EST.

"As a longtime partner of BTCS, I am confident in EST's ability to support our investors in transferring and safeguarding their shares in book entry," said Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS. "Not only will our investors receive a tangible benefit, but they'll also have the peace of mind knowing their shares won't be lent to short sellers."
