Stock loan absolutely is a thing in the US. Sometimes you get a cut, sometimes your broker does it in the background without giving you anything.

Just curious, if they do it in the background how do they get around dividend complexity? The company won't pay 2 people a dividend for the same share.

The borrower pays the dividend to the owner, all handled with brokerage mechanisms.
