MSTY Distribution Yield

How MSTY's trailing distribution yield is calculated, and how it differs from 30-Day SEC Yield and total return.

Yield methodology

Trailing 12-month distribution yield

Trailing distribution yield equals distributions paid over the trailing 12 months divided by the latest available market price. It is different from 30-Day SEC Yield, forward distribution yield, and total return.

Distribution variability

Why MSTY distributions can change

MSTY distributions can vary substantially because the strategy may rely on options linked to volatile underlying assets. A high trailing distribution yield is not the same as guaranteed future income or total return.

Distribution yield measures cash paid relative to price; it is not the same as economic return or total return.

Total return context

MSTY distribution yield is not total return

Distributions reinvested at the ex-date close

High distribution ETFs can pay large cash distributions while price or NAV moves differently. Compare distribution yield, price return, NAV change, and total return before treating yield as economic return.

Distribution context
How to read MSTY's distribution profile

ETF distribution yield is only the starting point. Pair the current distribution with frequency, history, holdings exposure, and fund risk before treating income as durable.

Distribution yield

Yield is most useful when read with the fund's asset class, distribution policy, and recent payment pattern.

Payment history matters

Stable or rising distributions can support an income allocation, while irregular payments should be read as fund-policy and market-cycle evidence.

Corporate coverage is excluded

ETF distributions are not evaluated with company payout ratio or free cash flow coverage because those metrics do not map cleanly to fund structures.

Focused follow-on paths for yield, reinvestment, holdings, risk, and the closest income comparison.

MSTY Dividends FAQ

Does MSTY pay dividends?

Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.17 per share on a weekly cadence.

What is MSTY's dividend yield?

MSTY's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 133.06%, from $20.32 per share paid over the trailing 12 months. That is distributions paid divided by the latest available market price — it is not a 30-Day SEC Yield, a forward yield, or a total return.

How often does MSTY pay dividends?

MSTY currently pays distributions on a weekly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.

When is MSTY's next dividend?

MSTY's next distribution is announced at $0.17 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 22, 2026.

What was MSTY's latest dividend?

MSTY's latest covered distribution was $0.17 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 22, 2026 and a payment date of Oct 23, 2026.

Why is MSTY's dividend so high?

MSTY's 133.06% trailing distribution yield reflects an income strategy — typically option premium alongside portfolio income — rather than ordinary corporate dividends. A large distribution is cash paid out relative to price; it is not the same as total return, it can fall as quickly as it rose, and part of it may be return of capital. Read it beside price return and total return before treating it as income.
