Summary

YieldMax said its Group 2 weekly pay ETFs will make distributions on July 10, 2026, with ex-date and record date on July 9. The announcement covers more than 40 option-income funds tied to single stocks, thematic exposures and inverse strategies, including the YieldMax Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF (YBIT), YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF (TSLY), YieldMax COIN Option Income Strategy ETF (CONY) and YieldMax Short COIN Option Income Strategy ETF (FIAT). Among the declared per-share payouts, YBIT will distribute $0.1718, TSLY $0.2776, CONY $0.2794 and FIAT $0.2723. The release also listed high annualized distribution rates for several funds, including 105.92% for HOOY and MRNY, 105.84% for RBLY, 105.45% for HIYY, 105.10% for RDYY and 100.76% for INYY, based on the close of July 7, 2026. YieldMax said all funds shown in the table have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%. The company cautioned that distributions are not guaranteed and can vary sharply from period to period or be zero. It said the distribution rate is an annualized figure based on the latest payout and does not represent total return, while 30-Day SEC Yield excludes option income. YieldMax also said distributions may include ordinary dividends, capital gains and return of capital, which can reduce net asset value and trading price over time. YieldMax said the funds generally use options-based strategies that cap upside participation while leaving investors exposed to losses if the reference asset falls, and that the Short ETFs cap gains if the reference asset declines while exposing investors to losses if it rises. The release added that YBIT does not invest directly in Bitcoin or seek direct exposure to spot Bitcoin, but instead has indirect exposure through one or more underlying exchange-traded products.

Terms & Concepts
  • 30-Day SEC Yield: A standardized annualized income measure based on net investment income over the prior 30 days, excluding option income.
  • return of capital: The portion of a distribution treated as a return of an investor's original capital rather than investment income or gains.
  • spot Bitcoin: The current cash-market price of Bitcoin, as opposed to exposure gained through derivatives or exchange-traded products.
