What happens to dividends if a share is a token? š
This is where bStocks become much more interesting than just a āblockchain share.ā
With a regular stock, a dividend is a payment to the owner.
With bStocks, the mechanism is different.
A dividend doesnāt come to you as a separate payment in USDT or dollars.
Instead, its net value is automatically reinvested into the underlying share.
After that, the Multiplier changesāand the number of bStocks in your balance increases proportionally.
So roughly:
š a share ā generates a dividend
ā
š° dividend ā reinvested
ā
š¢ Multiplier ā updated
ā
šŖ your bStock balance ā increases
And this happens without you having to manually press āreinvest.ā
Thereās another important detail: before reinvesting, a U.S. dividend tax is appliedāBinance Academy currently notes a 30% withholding tax.
So bStocks arenāt just ātook a share and turned it into a token.ā
Even something as classic as a dividend needs its own mechanism to work in a tokenized environment.
This is where the real on-chain financial infrastructure begins.
