Trove Introduces Collection Dividends Rewarding Collectors Monthly

NEW YORK, Trove, a digital collectibles platform, has introduced a groundbreaking feature called Collection Dividends, rewarding collectors for building and maintaining their collections on the app. This industry-first initiative provides a minimum annual return of 2% on the value of a collector's collection, calculated and paid out monthly in Trove Cash.

Launched on September 3, 2026, this new feature adds a significant layer of value to the collector experience. Unlike other platforms, Collection Dividends do not require collectors to stake their assets, lock up their items, or transfer ownership. This benefit recognizes collections as assets with ongoing value, distinguishing Trove from its competitors.

"The collectibles industry has focused heavily on the purchase experience, but has largely neglected the collector experience," stated Michael Katz, co-founder and CEO of Trove. "While many platforms claim to be 'by collectors, for collectors,' their investments fail to deliver on that promise. Collection Dividends is a step towards ensuring that collectors see long-term value in their collections."

Trove was founded in 2025 with a vision to create a platform that combines the excitement of digital pack opening with the ownership of real, authenticated cards from major sports, Pokémon, and One Piece. Collectors can purchase packs on Trove, choose to build a physical collection, or sell back cards for 100% of their fair market value. The platform also offers 100% and forever buyback options, ensuring liquidity for collectors.

"Building for collectors, not just transactions, is at the heart of what we do," Katz explained. "We are committed to delivering value throughout the entire collector journey, from the initial purchase to long-term ownership."

Transparency and trust are cornerstones of Trove's platform. The company uses PSA Vault for secure storage of authenticated cards and offers transparent outcomes, PSA-verified inventory, and provable fairness to allow collectors to verify outcomes. Flexible sellback options further enhance the collector's experience.

Trove’s team is comprised of lifelong collectors with over two decades of experience in building technology companies at the intersection of data, consumer behavior, and emerging technology. This unique blend of expertise informs Trove’s approach to creating a platform that caters to the needs of serious collectors.

According to Trove, the Collection Dividends feature is part of its broader vision to build new value and utility around collectible ownership, continually investing in the collector experience. This initiative marks an important step towards recognizing the full value of a collector’s investment beyond just the initial transaction.
