CONY Dividend Calculator

No. CONY has paid every single week since it moved to weekly payments on October 23, 2025, including 39 payments in 2026 up to September 24. What did happen is that the payments became much smaller, and a 1-for-10 reverse split in December 2025 made old and new amounts hard to compare. Either can look like a suspension at first glance.

Counted per share of CONY today, the fund’s best year was 2024, when it paid $202.98. That fell to $75.5777 in 2025, a drop of 62.8%. So far in 2026, 39 weekly payments total $13.433, compared with $64.303 over the same weeks of 2025, which is 79.1% lower.

Recent weeks have paid between $0.2219 and $0.6138 per share in 2026.

After the close on December 1, 2025, CONY swapped every ten shares for one, and shares traded at the new price from December 2. A holder of 100 shares ended up with 10, each worth ten times as much.

Payments before that date are adjusted to match. For example, CONY paid $0.4522 per share on September 18, 2025, which is $4.522 per share on today’s basis. Split-adjusted history tables, including the one above, use the larger figure.

CONY is an actively managed YieldMax fund built around Coinbase (COIN). It sells call spreads on Coinbase stock and pays out the option premiums each week. Coinbase’s price tends to swing a lot with the crypto market, and those swings are what make the options valuable.

When Coinbase’s price is calmer, or the fund’s own price falls, the dollars paid per share shrink. That is the main reason the weekly amount changes so much.

YieldMax posts each new CONY distribution on Wednesday. The ex-dividend date follows on Thursday (moved to Friday in holiday weeks), and cash reaches accounts one business day later. You must own the shares before the Thursday ex-date to receive that week’s payment.

YieldMax estimated that the September 23, 2026 distribution was 96.63% return of capital and 3.37% income. The estimate changes from week to week: over the eight payments from August 6 to September 24, 2026, it ran from 0% to 97.02%.

Return of capital is generally not taxed when you receive it; it lowers your cost basis instead, so more gain is taxed when you sell. The final breakdown for the year is on your Form 1099-DIV.

As of Oct 13, 2026, CONY’s trailing yield was about 132.01%, based on the last 12 months of payments ($25.19 per share). YieldMax listed a 67.70% distribution rate on September 23, 2026. It projects the newest weekly payment across a full year. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.55% on August 31, 2026.

The large gap between these numbers is normal for this kind of fund. The SEC yield leaves out option income, and the trailing yield still includes larger payments from a year ago.

According to YieldMax, CONY returned 12.81% a year at net asset value from its launch on August 14, 2023 to August 31, 2026, counting payouts. The S&P 500 returned 20.90% a year over that time. In the year to August 31, 2026, CONY lost 34.86% while the S&P 500 gained 20.38%.

Using the last 12 months as a guide, $12,000 of yearly payouts would take about $9,090 in CONY, or around 476 shares at about $19.08.

Treat that as a best case. The 2026 payments are running far below 2025’s, and the share price has fallen too. Try smaller payout assumptions in the calculator above.

The YieldMax COIN Option Income Strategy ETF opened on August 14, 2023 and lists on NYSE Arca. It charges a gross expense ratio of 1.04% a year, which is $104 on $10,000.

As of Oct 13, 2026, CONY yields about 132.01%, having distributed $25.19 per share over the trailing twelve months.

Its most recent payment was $0.2222 per share, which went ex-dividend on Oct 8, 2026 and paid on Oct 9, 2026.

Because CONY pays a variable weekly distribution, the amount changes every period — its recent payments have ranged from $0.2222 to $0.3405 per share. Treat the headline yield as a record of what was paid, not a promise of future income.

As a covered-call income ETF, CONY pairs an above-average yield with limited share-price upside, because option premium is exchanged for capped growth — so set the price-growth input in the calculator above conservatively rather than assuming the yield compounds untouched.

CONY uses a synthetic covered-call strategy on Coinbase (COIN) to convert that stock’s volatility into a high weekly distribution. Because it is tied to a single crypto-exchange stock, both the payout and the share price are exceptionally volatile, and the strategy caps upside while leaving most of the downside exposure in place. This is a speculative income product rather than a core holding — set price growth cautiously, frequently negative, when modelling it.

CONY is a covered-call income etf from YieldMax that distributes weekly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for CONY: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for covered-call funds, where a high headline yield often pairs with little or no price growth — so the "stock price growth" input should usually be modest.
