Bitcoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that operates without central authority, enabling instant payments through a distributed network that collectively manages transactions and currency issuance. The cryptocurrency does not distribute income or dividends. Bitcoin appeals to investors seeking exposure to digital assets and cryptocurrency market movements rather than traditional income-generating securities.

How Dividend Vision calculates returns
Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
