Bitget Schedules Cash Dividend Settlement For FCXUSDT Perps

Bitget announced that its FCXUSDT stock perpetual contracts will undergo a cash dividend settlement in accordance with the dividend schedule of the underlying company. According to Bitget_Announcements, the settlement is scheduled to begin gradually starting from October 15, 2026, at 08:00:00 (UTC+8), with a dividend per share set at 0.07 USD.

Settlement Rules and Impact on Positions

Under the specified settlement rules, long position holders will receive the corresponding dividend amount based on their position size, which will be credited to their account as a funding fee. Conversely, short position holders will have the corresponding dividend amount deducted based on their position size, charged from their account as a funding fee.

The settlement scope relies on a position snapshot taken at the exact time of settlement. Users holding no open positions at that moment will not be included, and for identical UIDs, long and short positions will be netted before settlement occurs. Funding fees generated from the process will appear in user account transaction history in real time upon completion.

User Notice and Margin Management

Bitget noted that normal contract trading functions will continue to operate as usual during the settlement period and cash dividend settlement does not affect standard trading operations.

Users who wish to avoid participating in the cash dividend settlement or prevent potential dividend deductions are advised to close their relevant positions before October 15, 2026, at 08:00:00 (UTC+8). The exchange also advised users holding high-leverage short positions to check and top up their margins in advance, as dividend deductions may significantly impact their margin ratios.
