Invested:
| Investment | Book | Current | Shares | Dividend/share | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZWQT | $ 21.82CAD | $ 22.06 CAD | 7.7 | $0.089 CAD | $0.6853 CAD |
| BTCI | $47.30 USD | $32.04 USD | 1 | $1.0767 CAD | $1.0767 CAD |
| March 2026 | $ 1.762 |
Repaid : 6,625 GLD
- 6625 from HIVE (internal)
- $1.762 from DIVIDENDS (Fiat -- converted to EDSI)
The mission:
This account had a simple mission:
- Borrow 10,000 GLD ($100 HBD)
- Invest $100 into stocks
- Collect dividends
- Reinvest / Repay back to HIVE.
The Reason
I believe HIVE is awesome but I also believe that it requires regular money coming back into HIVE monthly to be strong. Rather than extracting value from HIVE and seeing the value go down my thought is extract money from HIVE, invest it so that I have a long term value, then reinvest the dividends back into HIVE over the long term so support the chain.
What if everyone did that? What if everyone took a little that they made, invested wisely and then returned value to hive each month, every month. What would HIVE look like?
My guess is that it would be a lot stronger. Sure in the beginning there would be a lot of money taken out but over time that money would be returned many times over making HIVE stronger each and every month.
The Results:
| Month | Value |
|---|---|
| Dec 2025 | $2.03 |
| Jan 2026 | $1.82 |
| Feb 2026 | $1.56 |
| Mar 2026 | $1.762 |
| ........ | ........ |
| Total | $7.172 |
Next Steps
As you can see some money is already coming in each month to repurchase HIVE. The expected chain is CAD --> Crypto.com --> LTC --> Swap.LTC --> Swap.HIVE --> EDSI
As you might know EDSI is designed to reflect HIVE at a 1:1 value and pay out a weekly reward for holding the token.
The $7.172 has been sitting in the 
Hive investment from external dividends
| Date | Amount | Hive | EDSI | Value | Price/token |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 28, 2026 | $7.172 | 84.89 | 84.89 | $7.172 | 0.08448 |
Additional Investments
Moving forward a portion of the stockpiled GLD tokens will be sold and invested every month to purchase an additional stock. The main idea is to provide stable income for the HIVE and to show how I choose stocks in order to provide long term income.
For this month though? I just wanted to change up the monthly write-up a little bit to focus my ideas on what to do with this test account moving forward :)
Tracking
With this there are numerous things to keep track of. There is the initial investment of 10,000 GLD. There is the amount of GLD repurchased and there are the dividends which are brought back into HIVE and converted to EDSI.
So it is clear:
Fiat Side
- Investments I purchase go into my personal account.
- They can either Canadian or American stocks and the price will be listed as CAD or USD
- Dividends will be paid out to me in Canadian Dollars
Hive Side
- Curation / Delegation and other rewards will typically be as Hive
- Hive (or other tokens) will be converted to GLD
- GLD being held will be used to purchase additional stocks
- When 10,000 is held the initial loan will be considered "repaid".
This is still a work in progress but I'm curious how things will all work out in the end.
Thanks for taking a look :)
