According to South Korea’s Seoul Economic Daily, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are internally developing large-scale shareholder return plans, with specific details possibly announced as early as the end of this month. As artificial intelligence drives the storage chip industry into a supercycle, the two firms’ free cash flow has surged sharply, leading market analysts to project that total shareholder returns—including special dividends, share repurchases, and cancellations—could exceed 200 trillion won (approximately $141.2 billion). Samsung Electronics previously committed to allocating 50% of its cumulative free cash flow to shareholder returns under its three-year shareholder return policy covering 2024 to 2026. Market forecasts suggest that fueled by this year’s robust free cash flow growth, Samsung’s shareholder return scale could hit 100 trillion to 125 trillion won, with some institutions even estimating around 120 trillion won, likely via special dividends, share repurchases, and cancellations. SK Hynix has also pledged to allocate 50% of its cumulative free cash flow for 2025 to 2027 to shareholder returns. As of the end of the second quarter, the company’s cash assets stood at 88 trillion won, net cash rose to 69.4 trillion won, plus an additional 39.8905 trillion won raised through a new American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuance on the Nasdaq. Market projections indicate its upcoming special dividends, extra repurchases, and cancellations could reach tens of trillions of won, with the maximum possibly approaching 100 trillion won. However, both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix noted that the exact announcement timeline and shareholder return amounts have not yet been finalized, and they are still reviewing multiple plans to boost shareholder value.

Fidelity is preparing to add ETH staking and quarterly cash distribution mechanisms to its Ethereum ETF (FETH). FETH currently holds approximately $898 million in net assets. According to revised registration documents, under normal circumstances, the fund may allocate up to 100% of its ETH for staking, with no minimum staking ratio set, and will retain a portion of ETH for redemptions, fees, and other liquidity needs. Fidelity plans to retain 85% of total staking rewards, with the remaining 15% going to the fund’s sponsor, custodian, and node operators. The listed node operators include Blockdaemon, Figment, and Galaxy. Net staking income will first be used to cover the fund’s expenses, with the remainder allocated for quarterly cash distributions. Per relevant IRS rules, the fund is required to distribute net staking income at least once per quarter. Fidelity also noted that the fund may sell a portion of its ETH to raise cash for distributions if needed. The adjustment follows the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)’s November 2025 safe harbor rule, which allows eligible crypto trusts to conduct staking without losing their grantor trust tax status.
