Key Terms

restricted stock units financial

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

performance stock units financial

Performance stock units are a type of company award that grants employees shares of stock only if certain performance goals are met. They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.

rsus financial

RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.

psus financial

PSUs are company shares promised to employees or executives that only become actual stock if the business hits specific performance targets over a set period. For investors, PSUs matter because they link pay to measurable outcomes — similar to a conditional bonus that converts into ownership — which can influence management decisions, dilution of shares, and signals about confidence in future results.

blockchain asset portfolio technical

A blockchain asset portfolio is a collection of digital assets recorded and moved on a blockchain—examples include cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, and stablecoins. Like a basket holding different kinds of fruit, it groups varied digital holdings to spread risk or chase return; investors care because these assets often behave differently than stocks or bonds, introducing distinct volatility, custody and regulatory risks that affect liquidity, taxes and diversification.
