The indexes begin with a 95% allocation to equities and a 5% allocation to <span>bitcoin<\/span> exposure, while within the index methodology, dividend proceeds are systematically directed into bitcoin-related investments.<\/p>\n<p>For both products, the filing states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe underlying index includes an allocation to <span>bitcoin<\/span> that is achieved by systematically reinvesting dividends from the equity securities in the underlying index into <span>bitcoin<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Allocation Could Grow Through Dividend Reinvestment Rules<\/h2>\n<p>The first proposed fund would track the VettaFi US Large-Cap 500 <span>Bitcoin<\/span> DRIP Index, which is built from a universe of the 500 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization. Eligible securities are weighted using a float-adjusted methodology and remain subject to concentration limits that cap individual holdings and larger aggregate positions. As of April 30, 2026, the underlying index contained 498 securities.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Franklin US Innovation <span>Bitcoin<\/span> DRIP Index ETF would track the VettaFi US Innovation 100 <span>Bitcoin<\/span> DRIP Index. That benchmark draws from the 100 largest Nasdaq-listed U.S. companies, excluding firms categorized as finance companies. The index also applies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-trading-volume\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trading volume<\/a>, and public float screens before constituent selection.<\/p>\n<p>Both funds would access <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> markets through a mix of instruments such as crypto-linked exchange-traded vehicles, futures, options, and other securities tied to the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>.
