Margex has just rolled out a $2.7 million Bitcoin airdrop campaign. The promotion, which runs from July 27 through August 25, 2026, is built around a simple premise: put Bitcoin to work through active trading and don’t let it sit around or sell it off.

The campaign leans into the “never sell” messaging that was popular in crypto circles, though Margex is not affiliated with any political figures or events. The platform’s goal is pretty simple: reward traders who generate meaningful trading volume during the four-week window.

Tiered Rewards Based on Trading Volume

The airdrop distributes BTC rewards across nine tiers, with higher cumulative trading volume unlocking larger payouts. Participants can earn anywhere from $10 in BTC for reaching $250,000 in volume, up to $2,000 for hitting $100 million in trading activity during the event period.

The full reward ladder breaks down as follows:

• $250,000+ volume → $10 BTC
• $500,000+ volume → $20 BTC
• $1,000,000+ volume → $40 BTC
• $5,000,000+ volume → $100 BTC
• $10,000,000+ volume → $250 BTC
• $25,000,000+ volume → $500 BTC
• $50,000,000+ volume → $1,000 BTC
• $100,000,000+ volume → $2,000 BTC

Every trade placed during the event counts toward the participant’s cumulative volume, regardless of the trading pair, leverage level, or direction (long or short). Copy trading does not qualify; only manual trades entered by the account holder move the progress bar forward.

How to Participate

Getting involved takes four steps.

First, traders need a Margex account; signing up takes only a few minutes. From there, they opt into the promotion through the event page with a single tap. Then comes the trading: any pair, any leverage, any direction. The platform tracks volume automatically and displays progress in real time.

Once the trading period wraps up on August 25, participants need to head to their Margex account Wallet and click the “Claim BTC Airdrop” button to collect their rewards. The claim window stays open through September 1, so anyone who qualifies has a limited timeframe to grab their tokens before that phase closes.

The reward amounts appear in USD on the event page, but the actual payout lands in the Margex BTC wallet as Bitcoin, converted at the exchange rate in effect at the time of distribution, so the final BTC amount moves with market prices right up until the moment someone clicks that claim button.

“We built this campaign for traders who believe in Bitcoin’s long-term value but don’t want to sit on the sidelines while markets move,” said a Margex spokesperson. “Holding doesn’t have to mean staying still. With leverage up to 100x, traders can generate serious volume and earn BTC rewards without ever selling their core positions. It’s about staying active, capturing opportunity, and getting paid for it.”

A Note on Leverage and Risk

Margex offers leverage up to 100x on major cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with flexible options ranging from 5x to 100x depending on the asset. Even though leverage inflates notional trading volume quickly (which makes the higher reward tiers more accessible with smaller actual capital at risk) it also amplifies potential losses.

The platform encourages participants to approach the campaign with a clear risk management strategy rather than treating the reward tiers as a trading plan in themselves.

The airdrop is not available to residents of the United States, Seychelles, Bermuda, Cuba, Crimea/Sevastopol, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan, or Afghanistan.
