Fund balance, dividends and shareholders
The Game Fund is the central reserve of CoinRepublik: all gold-related taxes, such as exchange and mining fees, flow into it, and the gold from mining is supplied out of it. From time to time the fund issues game shares, and every share pays its owner a dividend of 0.0001 gold per day - own 100 shares and you collect 0.01 gold daily. Buying shares is one of the safest ways to build a steady passive income in the game. Below you can inspect the fund's balance, every transaction, the dividend history and the full list of shareholders.
Fund Balance
A CoinRepublik share is an asset type linked to the game fund that pays dividends every single day. For every game share you own, you will receive 0.0001 gold every day. So for example if you own 324 game shares, you will receive 0.0324 gold every day.
Shares are issued by the admins from time to time and sold to players at different prices, depending on demand / supply.
While there is no fixed number of shares that can be issued, we can issue new shares as long as the game fund has gold to pay all shareholders in the next 6 months. Let's assume that the game fund has 100 gold and 10,000 shares are in circulation. This means that the fund will pay 1 gold per day to shareholders. Taking into account that it has only 100 gold, which only lasts for 100 days, no new shares can be issued. If there were only 5000 shares in circulation, then the balance of the fund would have reached for 200 days and we could issue new shares.
Yes, with one exception. You can buy or sell shares you have bought to other players at any price you want - go to market to see a list of sellers. The only shares you cannot sell are the free welcome share new players receive at signup, which is non-tradeable. Take into account that the price at which you buy stocks is very important. Since a share automatically brings you 0.0001 / day or 0.0365 gold / year, the purchase price plays an essential role in profitability. For example, if you buy a share for 0.03 gold, you will recover the investment in less than a year. If you buy a share for 0.1, it will take 3 years to recover the amount.
New players receive one free game share when they sign up. It is a gift to get you started, so it is non-tradeable - it cannot be listed on the market. It still earns the daily dividend like any other share, exactly as if you had bought it. Any shares you buy yourself, from the share shop or from other players, are fully tradeable.
