Oriental Culture Holding Ltd. (Nasdaq: OCG) announced a special cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on February 9, 2026 to shareholders of record as of January 22, 2026. The board approved the dividend on January 8, 2026, and the announcement was made on January 12, 2026.
The dividend is a one‑time distribution that celebrates the company’s fifth anniversary on the Nasdaq exchange. CEO Shao Yi said the payment reflects the company’s gratitude for long‑term shareholder support and its commitment to sharing growth achievements.
The dividend is funded from OCG’s accumulated cash reserves, which the company has maintained to support ongoing operations and development. Despite the cash injection, the company has faced significant financial headwinds, including a sharp revenue decline in the first half of 2025, widening net losses, and a regulatory investigation involving major shareholders that has eroded customer confidence.
In addition to the dividend, OCG is pursuing a strategic pivot toward a metaverse platform, including plans to become an NFT product provider and launch a wine‑and‑spirits metaverse. The company also completed a 1‑for‑220 reverse stock split effective January 16, 2026, to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid‑price requirement and to consolidate its share structure.
The special dividend signals management’s intent to reward shareholders while navigating a challenging operating environment. By returning a portion of its cash reserves, OCG aims to maintain investor confidence and demonstrate fiscal discipline, even as it continues to invest in new growth opportunities.
