I think maybe he is wondering if you receive any kind of dividends from holding BTS, rather than reinvesting BTS into for instance OBITS. At least I wonder about this.
no dividends, there are however assets that are meant to give out dividents on top of BTS.
I like to think of running btsbots.com bot is my divident and helps the exchange

There's also a referral system for earning a bit on side too you can find in FAQ
OBITS is openledger's thing, not directly bitshare's. openledger is a third party effort to build stuff on bitshares, including ICOO, OBITS, companies they help move onto bts, they run one of the UI websites and one of the gateways.
There's a new bitshares improvement protocol to make it easier to give out dividents for tokens.
