How Does Bitrue’s Tokenized Stock Yield Work?
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue has launched an interest-bearing product offering a stated annualized yield of 7% on tokenized instruments linked to major technology companies, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Tesla and Meta.
The product, called AI Tokenized Stocks Earn, covers eight assets from Bitrue’s “ON” range: NVDAON, SPCXON, TSLAON, GOOGLON, AAPLON, MSFTON, AMZNON and METAON. The lineup also includes a token linked to privately held aerospace company SpaceX.
Bitrue describes the return as a flat annualized yield. This represents the rate users could earn over a full year under the stated conditions, rather than an immediate 7% payment. The exchange may also impose participation limits, redemption rules or future changes to the offered rate.
According to Bitrue, it is the first exchange to provide a yield product covering a portfolio of tokenized stocks associated with artificial intelligence and large technology companies. The claim is based on the exchange’s own assessment and has not been independently verified.
Is The 7% Return The Same As A Stock Dividend?
The yield is separate from dividends paid by the companies represented by the tokens. Corporate dividends are approved by a company’s board and distributed from the company’s financial resources to eligible shareholders.
Bitrue’s 7% return is provided through an exchange-based Earn product. Its payment therefore depends on Bitrue’s terms, funding structure and ability to meet its obligations rather than the earnings or dividend policies of Apple, Microsoft or the other referenced companies.
The difference is substantial because most companies in the product offer much lower dividend yields. Bitrue’s announcement listed approximate rates of 0.32% for Apple, 0.92% for Microsoft and 0.25% for Alphabet. Nvidia and Meta also pay relatively small dividends, while Tesla and Amazon do not currently distribute dividends.
Tokenized stocks are also not necessarily equivalent to shares purchased through a regulated securities broker. Holders may not receive voting rights, direct ownership of the referenced shares or the legal protections normally available to shareholders.
Bitrue’s May 2026 RWA report placed the exchange’s performance within a broader expansion in tokenized real-world assets. The report said total distributed RWA market capitalization rose from about $5.42 billion at the start of 2025 to $30.45 billion by mid-Q2 2026, an increase of more than 462%.
The sector remains small compared with traditional financial markets, but the pace of growth points to a change in crypto market structure. Tokenized Treasuries, commodities, equities and funds are no longer limited to early pilots. They are gaining traction as infrastructure, liquidity and institutional participation improve.
Tokenized Treasuries remain the largest part of the RWA market. Bitrue said the category reached $14.56 billion in distributed value by mid-Q2 2026, equal to 47.8% of the market. Tokenized commodities followed with $5.10 billion, or 16.7%. Tokenized stocks accounted for $1.36 billion, or 4.5%, while other categories, including asset-backed credit, real estate, private equity and active strategies, represented $9.43 billion, or 31%.
Bitrue said gold-backed tokens continue to benefit from demand for physical gold exposure while adding crypto-market features such as fractional ownership, 24/7 trading and easier movement into other digital asset products. The report said spot trading volumes for tokenized gold remained strong, indicating continued user demand.
Where Is The Product Available?
Bitrue says AI Tokenized Stocks Earn is available to eligible holders of the eight supported tokens. Participation remains subject to the exchange’s product terms, including subscription limits, redemption conditions and any changes to the annualized rate.
The product is unavailable in several major markets, including the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and European Economic Area, Canada and Australia. It is also restricted in sanctioned jurisdictions.
The geographic exclusions reduce the product’s potential reach and reflect the legal complications surrounding tokenized securities. Regulators may assess whether these instruments represent securities, derivatives or another type of financial product requiring specific authorization.
Bitrue states that the tokens do not provide shareholder rights in the underlying companies. Users considering the product should therefore review its legal structure, pricing method, custody arrangements, yield source and withdrawal rules rather than relying solely on the stated 7% return.
