Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD) kicked off the year with a novel approach to customer engagement, distributing $2.5 million worth of Bitcoin (BITCOMP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) to its users. The initiative, which took place on New Year’s Eve, aimed to reward existing customers rather than attract new ones.

This strategy was highlighted by CEO Vlad Tenev, who emphasized the importance of customer loyalty on X. The giveaway attracted over 450,000 participants, each receiving $5.98 worth of Dogecoin. Despite the modest amount per participant, the effort was lauded as a successful marketing move, reinforcing Robinhood’s commitment to innovative customer interaction.
