What is BXSL?
BXSL is Blackstone Secured Lending Fund. It is a business development company, or BDC. It lends to private U.S. companies, and 96.8% of its portfolio was first-lien senior secured debt at the end of June 2026. That kind of loan is repaid first if a borrower runs into trouble.
The fund held about $13.4 billion of investments. It is run by a Blackstone affiliate. Like other BDCs, it pays out most of its income as dividends, which are generally taxed as ordinary income.
BXSL dividend history
Blackstone’s table lists every payment and labels it regular or special. The regular dividend was $0.53 a share in early 2022. It rose to $0.60 in late 2022, $0.70 in 2023, and $0.77 from October 2023. In 2022 BXSL also paid four specials, of $0.10, $0.15, $0.20 and $0.20.
That makes the yearly totals $2.91 in 2022, $2.94 in 2023, and $3.08 in both 2024 and 2025. So far in 2026 three payments of $0.77 add up to $2.31 per share. Blackstone counts $11.41 a share in total dividends since inception.
Is the BXSL dividend safe? Income coverage
This page cannot promise future dividends, but it can show the coverage. In the second quarter of 2026, BXSL earned $0.75 a share in net investment income, against its $0.77 dividend. Blackstone put coverage at 97%, so income fell slightly short of the payout that quarter.
Credit quality looked steady by its own measures. Loans on non-accrual are ones where borrowers stopped paying as agreed. They were 1.8% of its debt investments by Blackstone’s measure. The CEO said no new loans joined that list in the quarter. Net asset value was $25.53 a share on June 30, 2026.
BXSL ex-dividend dates and payments
BXSL pays four times a year. Its ex-dates fall at the very end of March, June, September and December, and the cash arrives about three and a half weeks later. The board declared the third-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.77 for holders of record on September 30, payable on or about October 23.
The fourth-quarter 2026 dividend had not been declared by October 16, 2026.
BXSL dividend yield
BXSL’s four payments over the year to Oct 13, 2026 came to $3.08 a share. On a share price of about $23.86, that is a yield near 12.91%. Ares Capital’s trailing yield was about 10.31%.
Measured against net asset value instead, the $0.77 quarterly rate was a 12.1% yield on June 30, 2026, according to Blackstone.

About BXSL
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund is a business development company (BDC) that lends mainly to private U.S. companies, mostly through first-lien senior secured loans. It pays a quarterly dividend, which is generally taxed as ordinary income.
BXSL is a bdc from Blackstone Secured Lending that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for BXSL: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the BXSL calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with BXSL’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a bdc these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
The full math, including how the money-weighted return is computed, is on the methodology page.

- How does this BXSL dividend calculator work?
- It runs a month-by-month projection: each month it adds your contribution, pays a dividend based on the yield, optionally reinvests it (DRIP), then applies price growth. The page loads pre-filled with BXSL's current yield (about 12.91% as of Oct 13, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.

- Blackstone Secured Lending Fund pays a quarterly dividend; its most recent payment was $0.77 per share, ex-dividend Sep 30, 2026. This calculator compounds monthly and projects annual totals, so it works the same regardless of the payment schedule — the cadence just affects when cash actually lands in your account.
- Is the BXSL projection a guarantee?
- No. It is an educational projection based on the assumptions you enter, held constant. Real dividends can rise, be cut, or stop, and prices fluctuate. Use it to compare scenarios, not to predict returns, and never rely on a single calculator for an investment decision.
