Bitget Announces Cash Dividend Settlement for JPMUSDT Stock Perps

Bitget has announced a cash dividend settlement for its JPMUSDT stock perpetual contracts in accordance with the underlying company's dividend schedule, according to Bitget_Announcements. The settlement process is scheduled to begin gradually from October 6, 2026, at 08:00:00 (UTC+8).

Under the settlement rules, long position holders will receive the corresponding dividend amount based on their position size, credited to their account as a funding fee. Conversely, short position holders will have the dividend amount deducted from their account as a funding fee based on their position size. The settlement scope relies on a position snapshot taken at the time of settlement, meaning users with no open positions will not be included. For accounts with the same UID, long and short positions will be netted before settlement.

User Notices and Margin Requirements

The exchange advised users who do not wish to participate in the cash dividend settlement to close their relevant positions before the scheduled settlement time on October 6, 2026. Furthermore, users holding high-leverage short positions have been urged to check and top up their margin beforehand, as dividend deductions may significantly impact their margin ratios.

Funding fees generated from the settlement will be reflected in user account transaction histories in real time upon completion. Bitget noted that normal contract trading functions will continue to operate as usual during the settlement period.
