Franklin Templeton files for two ETFs pairing US stocks with Bitcoin dividend reinvestment
- —FBEQ tracks the VettaFi US Large-Cap 500 Bitcoin DRIP index; the second fund follows Innovation 100
- —Dividends are used to buy BTC at the next market open after the ex-dividend date
- —If BTC exceeds 20% between rebalances, the position is cut to 4.5% within two business days
- —Bitcoin exposure comes via ETPs, futures and options, not on-chain custody
Why it matters: The structure turns US corporate dividend flows into systematic BTC purchases, adding a new source of institutional demand.
