Binance reinvests Apple's $0.27 AAPLB dividend into more tokens instead of cash. IBMB gets the same treatment; the Aug. 10 record date fixes eligibility.
Binance is paying Apple's $0.27 per-share dividend to holders of AAPLB, the tokenized Apple (AAPL) share in its bStocks program. The net amount, after taxes and fees, becomes additional AAPLB rather than cash. Binance runs the payment on the same pattern as a brokerage dividend reinvestment plan, and no opt-in is required.
The record date is Aug. 10, 2026, at 00:00 UTC. Tokens in a Binance Spot Wallet before that cutoff qualify. A position opened after midnight UTC does not qualify. No cash alternative is built into the payout; the full net dividend is converted into more BEP-20 tokens on BNB Smart Chain. The number of new tokens reflects the net amount, not the gross $0.27. A cash entry never lands in the wallet; the holder sees a larger token balance instead.
For holders who keep AAPLB in their own wallet rather than on Binance, the dividend arrives as a multiplier adjustment applied to the token. The position grows by the same percentage without a separate transaction or claim step. IBMB, the tokenized IBM share, follows the same route. The two tokens use the same dividend process. Binance said trading in both tokens continues through the payment date, and AAPLB/USDT remains the primary pair. Underlying IBM stock carries a Mixed 44/100 Alpha Score on AlphaScala's IBM stock page.
Binance launched bStocks in June 2026 and accumulated $500 million in assets under management in roughly two months. The pool is about a third of the $1.48 billion tokenized equities market, a total that includes Meta and Tesla xStocks from Bybit.
The custody arrangement also defines what a holder does not get. Each bStock token is backed 1:1 by a US share held at a regulated custodian, so an actual Apple share sits somewhere in the traditional system behind every AAPLB token. The same backing arrangement covers IBMB. Voting rights and proxy statements sit with the custodian; the token tracks the price move and the dividend. Holding AAPLB does not create a shareholder relationship under the program's terms.
