Франклин Темплтон подал заявку на два ETF, которые реинвестируют дивиденды по акциям в биткойны
Bitcoin Magazine Franklin Templeton Files for Two ETFs That Reinvest Stock Dividends Into Bitcoin Franklin Templeton has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch two exchange-traded funds that channel corporate dividend payments directly into bitcoin, the latest sign of Wall Street’s push to embed cryptocurrency into traditional investment structures. The Thursday filing registers the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and the Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF, with an effective date as early as Sept. 1, 2026. The “DRIP” name borrows from dividend reinvestment plans — a mechanism long used by investors to compound stock positions over time — and repurposes it to accumulate bitcoin rather than additional shares. Both funds launch with a 95% allocation to U.S. large-cap equities and a 5% allocation to bitcoin. The first tracks the VettaFi US Large-Cap 500 Bitcoin DRIP Index, offering broad market exposure across approximately 498 securities with market caps ranging from $7.5 billion to $4.9 trillion, while the second tracks a VettaFi innovation-focused variant concentrated on growth companies. Under the index methodology, dividends generated by the underlying stock portfolios flow into bitcoin-linked instruments — including spot bitcoin exchange-traded products, futures contracts, options, and in some cases a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Cayman Islands — rather than being redistributed to investors or reinvested in equities. The structure creates what one analysis described as “an automatic, low-maintenance 5% bitcoin feed funded entirely by equity dividends.” Quarterly rebalancing rules would trim bitcoin allocations above 5% back to 4.5%, while a hard cap limits bitcoin exposure to 20% of the portfolio between rebalancing periods. No fees have been disclosed in the preliminary filing.

Bitwise predicted more than 100 such ETFs could launch in 2026, and Bloomberg Intelligence counted well over 100 filings in the pipeline at the end of last year. Franklin Templeton’s dividend-into-bitcoin design is the latest variation on a theme that has produced covered-call income products and other structured wrappers competing for assets beyond plain spot exposure, where BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust dominates with tens of billions in net assets. The filings extend a broader digital asset buildout at Franklin Templeton. In May, Franklin Templeton entered a partnership with Payward — the parent of crypto exchange Kraken — to tokenize traditional investment products and offer its BENJI tokenized money market fund on Kraken’s platform as a collateral management tool for institutional clients. Earlier this month, Franklin Templeton integrated BENJI into MoonPay Trade, enabling institutional users to swap between stablecoins like USDC a
