Crypto exchange Bitrue has introduced a new product called "AI Tokenized Stocks Earn," offering investors a fixed 7% annualized yield on tokenized shares of eight major companies, including Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, SpaceX, and Nvidia. The inclusion of SpaceX is notable, as it is a privately held company that does not trade on any public exchange. Bitrue claims it is the first exchange to launch such a product.

The announcement comes as Wall Street's largest companies prepare to release their quarterly earnings. Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon are scheduled to report results between July 22 and July 30 — a period analysts have described as a critical test of whether massive AI infrastructure spending is translating into returns. Nvidia, also part of Bitrue's lineup, is not expected to report until late August, according to earnings calendars.

How the Product Works

The tokens are branded with an "ON" suffix — such as AAPLON, NVDAON, SPCXON, GOOGLON, AMZNON, and TSLAON — and are designed to track the price of the underlying stock while paying a 7% annualized yield. That return is independent of the actual companies' dividend policies. Bitrue has not publicly detailed how the 7% yield is funded.

By comparison, traditional dividend yields from these companies are significantly lower. Apple's dividend yield sits near 0.32%, Microsoft's near 0.92%, Alphabet's at 0.25%, and Meta's between 0.3% and 0.4%. Tesla and Amazon pay no dividends at all, meaning Bitrue's 7% rate would represent the first yield-bearing return on exposure to either stock beyond price appreciation. The offering is available through Bitrue's staking platform.

The product builds on Bitrue's broader push into tokenized real-world assets. The exchange has previously marketed itself as the first platform to offer triple-leveraged exposure to both AMD and SpaceX in both directions — efforts that have contributed to sharp growth in its tokenized asset user base this year.

What Investors Should Know

Tokenized stocks of this type do not confer the legal rights associated with owning actual shares, a point Bitrue acknowledged in its disclaimer notes. The exchange stated that it provides investors with the price exposure they are seeking along with a fixed annualized return, and that the offering does not depend on a company's dividend policy, board decisions, or even whether the company is publicly traded. As with all tokenized or synthetic assets, investors bear counterparty risk — dependence on the platform to maintain price tracking and fulfill yield payments — alongside the underlying market risk of the reference stocks.

The tokenized stock category has attracted regulatory scrutiny before. Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange by trading volume, launched tokenized fractional shares of companies including Apple and Tesla in 2021 but discontinued the product line within months amid pressure from financial regulators — a precedent that underscores the compliance challenges facing platforms offering such instruments in major markets.

Why Bitrue Is Expanding Now

The global market for tokenized real-world assets has grown by nearly threefold since July 2025 and is currently valued at $34.97 billion, according to rwa.xyz. Tokenized stocks specifically hold a distributed value of $1.94 billion, with a monthly transfer value exceeding $7.9 billion, per rwa.xyz stock data.

That expansion has been driven largely by investor demand for portfolio diversification and 24/7 market exposure without settlement delays. Bitrue's launch of AI Tokenized Stocks Earn positions the exchange at the forefront of platforms adapting to this evolving market.

The product is now live but is unavailable to investors in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, and other restricted jurisdictions.
