Franklin Templeton Files for ETFs That Reinvest Stock Dividends Into Bitcoin

Franklin Templeton filed for two novel ETFs that hold U.S. stocks and reinvest their dividends into Bitcoin, with a starting 5% Bitcoin weighting capped at 20%.

• The 'Bitcoin DRIP' ETFs hold baskets of U.S. stocks and systematically reinvest dividends into Bitcoin instead of back into shares
• Two funds proposed: one tracking a large-cap 500 index, the other a U.S. innovation 100 index
• Bitcoin exposure starts at 5% and is capped at 20%, trimmed at quarterly rebalances
• The funds would gain Bitcoin exposure through ETPs, options, futures, and a Cayman Islands subsidiary
• Part of a wave of over 100 crypto ETF filings expected in 2026 after the SEC published generic listing standards
