Tokyo-based SBI Group will offer its shareholders their year-end benefit in the XRP cryptocurrency, according to a March 12 announcement.

In such a way, the Japanese financial behemoth wants to show appreciation to investors for their "continued support."

Those who hold at least 100 shares of SBI Group will be able to get 2,500 yen ($23) worth of XRP. The exact amount of tokens will be determined based on their price on June 30.
