Memberships
Two memberships. The same vote.
Every member becomes a member-owner of ByteShares Andelsselskab and has one vote. The difference between the two memberships is duration, payment and the special founding position.

Annual Membership · EUR 160 per year · annual renewal
Lifetime Founding Membership · EUR 1,200 once · personal founding status
Both: Member · Co-owner · One vote
The difference is duration, payment and founding status — never greater voting weight.
Two memberships. The same basic ownership.
Both membership types make you a member and member-owner of ByteShares Andelsselskab.
Annual Membership does not provide fewer voting rights or “only access to services”. Both provide one vote and the same basic member-owner status.
Founding Membership adds specific founder value — it is not what first gives you ownership.
Recommended start
Annual Membership
You become a member and member-owner of ByteShares Andelsselskab. The applicable monthly account/service fee for active accounts is stated separately.
- Admission to ByteShares Andelsselskab and entry in the membership register
- Member number and membership certificate
- Member-owner status in the member-owned cooperative
- One vote under the applicable governance rules
- Access to member information and relevant activities
- The option to apply for Founding Membership later while founding positions remain
The first payment covers admission, the applicable cooperative contribution and your first membership year.
Long-term alternative · max 10,000
Lifetime Founding Membership
You also become a member and member-owner — exactly like an annual member — but with a special personal founding position. The applicable monthly account/service fee still applies.
- A personal lifetime membership under the applicable membership terms
- No ordinary annual membership payment
- Founding status and a dedicated founding certificate
- A limited founding position — a maximum of 10,000 qualified founding members
- Collective participation in 20% of the defined qualifying future profit pool under the applicable terms
- Still one vote — founding status grants no extra voting weight
No guaranteed distribution. Economic founding participation requires qualifying profits and approval.
Which should I choose?
