New "Tax-to-Dividend" technology allows companies to reward everyday investors using fees from crypto trading-with a unique focus on fairness for retail shareholders.

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2026 / Remergify, the developer of the Expert Market Protocol, today announced a first-of-its-kind technology designed to bridge the gap between "meme-token" excitement and traditional stock ownership. The protocol allows companies to fund and automate recurring cash or stablecoin dividends for their registered shareholders using transaction fees generated by a company-linked cryptocurrency.

How It Works: A Self-Funding Dividend Pool

The Expert Market Protocol creates a simple, circular economy for public and private companies:

The Token: A company launches a branded meme token on a public blockchain.

The Fee: Every time that token is traded, a small, programmable "transaction tax" is automatically collected.

The Payout: These fees flow directly into a secure dividend pool. The funds are then distributed as cash or stablecoins to the company's registered shareholders based on their stock ownership.

Crucially, shareholders do not need to buy, own, or even understand the meme token to benefit. If they own the company's stock, they are eligible for the dividend.

Prioritizing the "Retail" Investor

Unlike traditional dividend structures that often favor majority owners, the Expert Market Protocol features a payout cap. This prevents executives and large institutional holders from capturing the bulk of the funds, ensuring that retail and minority investors receive a meaningful share of the revenue generated by the token's trading activity.

"We see too many innovations in the OTC Markets that leave the small shareholder behind," said Alfred Farrington, Chief of Innovation and Implementation. "By converting meme-token activity into compliant, automated dividends, we are giving smaller shareholders a real chance at recovery and a new stream of passive income. Best of all, shareholders don't have to do anything to start receiving these benefits-though those who register directly on our site may qualify for accelerated rewards."

A Turnkey Solution for Modern Markets

The Expert Market Protocol provides companies with a "ready-to-use" framework that includes smart contracts, shareholder verification, and automated payout systems. This allows issuers to modernize their investor engagement strategies while remaining compliant with existing securities and tax regulations.
