BITO Distribution Yield
How BITO's trailing distribution yield is calculated, and how it differs from 30-Day SEC Yield and total return.
Yield methodology
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
BITO distributions depend on the fund structure, underlying market exposure, income policy, and volatility of the assets or futures strategy it tracks.
Total return context
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.

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.
Yield is most useful when read with the fund's asset class, distribution policy, and recent payment pattern.
Stable or rising distributions can support an income allocation, while irregular payments should be read as fund-policy and market-cycle evidence.
ETF distributions are not evaluated with company payout ratio or free cash flow coverage because those metrics do not map cleanly to fund structures.

BITO Dividends FAQ
Does BITO pay dividends?
Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. ProShares Bitcoin ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.02 per share on a monthly cadence.
What is BITO's dividend yield?
BITO's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 15.30%, from $1.73 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 BITO pay dividends?
BITO currently pays distributions on a monthly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.
When is BITO's next dividend?
BITO's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Oct 31, 2026. A projection is an estimate from past payments, not an issuer announcement, and the fund can change both the date and the amount.
What was BITO's latest dividend?
BITO's latest covered distribution was $0.02 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 1, 2026 and a payment date of Oct 7, 2026.
Why does BITO's distribution vary so much?
BITO's distributions depend on its fund structure and the market exposure it tracks — which can involve futures, options, or crypto-linked assets rather than a diversified basket of dividend-paying equities. Traditional equity-dividend assumptions do not apply, and distributions can vary substantially between payments.
