Franklin Templeton ETF Trust has registered two new Bitcoin dividend strategy ETFs with Nasdaq: the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FBEQ) and Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FIBT). These funds allocate about 95% to U.S. equities and 5% to Bitcoin exposure, using dividends from stocks to buy Bitcoin-related assets rather than reinvesting in stocks. The ETFs have low annual fees (0.09% and 0.19%) and use rebalancing rules to keep Bitcoin exposure around 5%. Neither fund holds Bitcoin directly but may invest through related products. Trading has not yet started, with prospectuses set to take effect on Oct. 27. This approach offers investors a way to gain Bitcoin exposure alongside traditional stock investments.
