BlackRock's BUIDL Hits Major Milestone: First Tokenized Treasury to Surpass $100M in Dividend Payouts

According to Securitize’s latest announcement on X, BlackRock’s BUIDL initiative has achieved a historic breakthrough as the pioneering tokenized treasury project to reach a cumulative $100 million in dividend distributions.

This milestone underscores the growing viability of blockchain-based treasury instruments in traditional finance. The BUIDL project, which tokenizes U.S. Treasury bonds on-chain, represents a significant convergence between Wall Street and Web3 infrastructure. By enabling fractional ownership and real-time settlement, the project has attracted substantial institutional capital and demonstrated tangible yield generation for token holders.

The $100 million dividend payout figure reflects the project’s expanding adoption and the increasing appetite from institutional investors for tokenized fixed-income products. As the first tokenized treasury initiative to reach this scale, BUIDL has effectively validated a new asset class on blockchain networks, paving the way for similar institutional-grade offerings in the coming years.
