MSTY dividend snapshot
Variable distributionAs of Jul 10, 2026, MSTY yields about 285.79%, having distributed $36.38 per share over the trailing twelve months.
Its most recent payment was $0.2061 per share, which went ex-dividend on Jul 9, 2026 and paid on Jul 10, 2026.
Because MSTY pays a variable weekly distribution, the amount changes every period — its recent payments have ranged from $0.1549 to $0.2459 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, MSTY 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.

About MSTY
MSTY uses a synthetic covered-call strategy on MicroStrategy (MSTR) to generate an extremely high weekly distribution. It is one of the highest-yielding and most volatile income products available: the payout varies enormously week to week and the share price is prone to severe erosion. This is a very high-risk, speculative income fund — set the price-growth input cautiously (often negative) when modelling it.
MSTY 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 MSTY: 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.
How to use the MSTY calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with MSTY’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 covered-call income etf 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.
MSTY dividend calculator FAQ
- How does this MSTY 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 MSTY's current yield (about 285.79% as of Jul 10, 2026); adjust the dividend-growth, price-growth, and tax assumptions to fit your own outlook.
- What yield should I use for MSTY?
- As of Jul 10, 2026, MSTY's dividend yield was about 285.79% ($36.38 per share over the trailing year). Yields move with the share price, so use the current figure from your broker rather than a fixed number. For a covered-call fund the headline yield is high but usually comes with little or no price growth, so set the price-growth input realistically.
- How often does MSTY pay dividends, and when?
- YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF pays a weekly (varies) dividend; its most recent payment was $0.2061 per share, ex-dividend Jul 9, 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 MSTY 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.
