How Bitget Handles Dividends and Corporate Actions for Tokenized U.S. Stocks
Summary
The document describes Bitget Stocks 2.0, a platform for trading Reality-issued rTokens linked to U.S. stocks and ETFs. It explains that eligible cash dividends are calculated using the applicable record date, converted to USDT, and credited to an account, while stock dividends may be delivered as additional rTokens. The article also describes automatic adjustments for supported splits, mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs, and notes that rToken holders generally do not receive shareholder voting rights or direct registered ownership.
It presents the product as 24/7, with access to U.S. equity liquidity and potential connections to margin, bots, lending, and other platform features. The article gives illustrative examples but no independent performance analysis. It emphasizes that dividends are not guaranteed and that eligibility, taxes, fees, liquidity, custody, issuer, stablecoin, regulatory, and platform risks apply. Product access and terms may vary by region and asset, so the claims should be checked against current product disclosures.
