Franklin Templeton files ETFs that reinvest U.S. stock dividends into bitcoin exposure via rules-based DCA

Franklin Templeton filed two new exchange-traded funds with the SEC on June 18, 2026, designed to automatically convert dividends from U.S. stocks into bitcoin exposure. The structure would turn quarterly payouts from companies such as Apple, Microsoft, or ExxonMobil into rules-based bitcoin dollar-cost-averaging purchases. The filing comes as on-chain activity nears record highs, with BTC microtransactions rising sharply.
