Bitget Schedules Cash Dividend Settlement for Stock Perps

Bitget announced upcoming cash dividend settlements for its CSTOCKUSDT and BXUSDT stock perpetual contracts, according to an announcement from the exchange. The settlements correspond to the dividend schedules of the underlying companies and will begin gradually starting on October 31, 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 corresponding dividend amount deducted from their account as a funding fee. The settlement scope is determined by a position snapshot taken at the time of settlement, with users holding no open positions excluded. For accounts holding both long and short positions under the same UID, positions will be netted before settlement.

Settlement Details and Timeline

The CSTOCKUSDT pair features a dividend of $0.67 per share with an ex-dividend date of November 2, 2026. The BXUSDT pair carries a dividend of $1.12 per share, also with an ex-dividend date of November 2, 2026. Both settlements are scheduled to execute at 08:00:00 (UTC+8) on October 31, 2026. Funding fees generated will be reflected in user account transaction history in real time upon completion.

Users who prefer not to participate in the cash dividend settlement are advised to close relevant positions before the scheduled settlement time. Bitget noted that normal contract trading functions will continue to operate as usual during the settlement period. Traders holding high-leverage short positions are advised to monitor their accounts closely, as dividend deductions may impact their margin ratios.
