Source-checked briefing: prepared from the official notice cited below and checked for source, date, duplication, and risk language. No individual editor review is claimed. Methodology
Bitunix published a notice on 2026-10-28 stating it will process a cash dividend settlement for BXUSDT Stock Perpetual Futures at 2026-10-31 00:00 UTC, tied to a 1.12 USD per-share dividend with an ex-dividend date of 2026-11-02 (ET). Settlement uses a position snapshot at that time: longs receive the dividend and shorts have it deducted, both through a funding fee adjustment, with same-UID positions netted. The source establishes one conditional action: users who do not wish to participate must close relevant positions before that time. It also tells short holders to check margin beforehand.

Impact analysis
The confirmed operational effect is a funding fee adjustment applied to positions captured in the snapshot. Longs are credited and shorts are debited according to position size, with same-UID long and short positions netted first. Bitunix states the adjustment appears in account transaction history immediately after settlement completes. The notice says normal opening and closing are unaffected and BXUSDT remains available for trading during the settlement period. For shorts, Bitunix explicitly warns the deduction may cause insufficient margin and trigger forced liquidation, and that highly leveraged shorts may see a significant effect on margin ratio. Users outside the snapshot, or without an open BXUSDT position at that time, are not described as participating. This content is not investment or trading advice.
What the announcement does not say
Bitunix says the actual dividend amount depends on the underlying company's final dividend information and that any changes will be announced separately. The notice does not state the final confirmed amount, the underlying company's identity, or how the funding fee adjustment is calculated beyond position size.
