They can call this a coin or a cryptocurrency, but they're soliciting investors, investing in comics, issuing dividends, engaging in buybacks - it's an investment company as far as the SEC is concerned. I hope you have consulted a good securities lawyer because this looks flat-out illegal without complying with all the regulations in place.
Oh, and any dividends are absolutely going to be taxable in the eyes of the IRS.

Interesting concept.
Can you please provide details of this investment fund with transferable units (the coins).
I would like to see your fund manager licence, past performance, details of how the funds assets are segregated and that you have been in compliance with all rules when establishing this fund.
Do you have a prospectus? How do you ensure that the coins are not sold to the public without the full regulatory exposure required?
