Franklin Templeton Files for Two ETFs That Reinvest Stock Dividends Into Bitcoin

Franklin Templeton filed with the SEC for two ETFs that automatically reinvest dividends from U.S. large-cap stocks into Bitcoin exposure. The funds allocate 95% to equities and 5% to Bitcoin-linked instruments, with an effective date as early as September 1, 2026.

• The Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF would channel stock dividends into spot Bitcoin ETPs, futures, and options.
• Both funds hold 95% in U.S. large-cap equities and 5% in Bitcoin-linked instruments, with quarterly rebalancing and a hard cap of 20% Bitcoin exposure.
• The filing follows the SEC's 2025 publication of generic listing standards for crypto-linked funds, which has triggered a wave of over 100 ETF filings.
• Franklin Templeton has been expanding its crypto footprint, recently partnering with Kraken to tokenize funds and integrating with MoonPay for stablecoin swaps.
