In accordance with the Policy, Elemental expects to declare an annual cash dividend to its shareholders of US$0.12 per Elemental common share, to be paid in quarterly instalments of US$0.03 per share, with the record date for the inaugural dividend to be paid at the end of the first calendar quarter of 2026, and at the end of each calendar quarter following for subsequent dividends.

Highlights
- Maiden Dividend Policy approved by the Board of Directors
- Expected annual cash dividend of US$0.12 per Elemental share, paid quarterly
- Anticipated that qualifying registered shareholders will be able to elect that their cash dividends be invested in Tether Gold’s XAU₮ token
- The Dividend to shareholders is supported by Elemental’s strong projected revenue and cash flow growth profile in 2026 and beyond
- Further information on how shareholders may elect to receive the dividend or dividend in kind, will be provided in due course
David M. Cole, Chief Executive Officer of Elemental Royalty, commented: “The approval of this dividend policy marks an important milestone in Elemental’s strategic trajectory and reflects our confidence in the strength and momentum of the business; we believe this is the right time to introduce a sustainable, long-term, dividend. The decision to offer investors a dividend in kind, in the form of Tether Gold, further differentiates Elemental as a forward-thinking, growth-oriented investment.”
Stefan Wenger, Chief Financial Officer of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented: “Our inaugural dividend is underpinned by Elemental’s strong balance sheet and future revenue outlook in the near and longer-term: as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately US$53 million of cash and no debt, providing substantial financial flexibility as we continue to invest in growth. We will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, balancing returning capital to shareholders through a progressive dividend which we intend to maintain, or even increase, without compromising on our strategy of accretive growth through the acquisition and generation of precious metals streams and royalties.”
Juan Sartori, Executive Chairman of Elemental Royalty Corporation, commented: “We believe the initiation of this dividend policy is a world first for a royalty company: we anticipate enabling qualifying shareholders to elect to have their cash dividend invested in the purchase of the Tether XAU₮ token, thereby facilitating for shareholders greater exposure to physical gold through Tether Gold’s stablecoin and retaining real long-term value storage via a practical mechanism for gold-denominated investment returns.”
