Summary

YieldMax ETFs said its Group 2 ETFs will make weekly distributions, with annualized distribution rates ranging from 30.71% to 91.69%. The July 30 ex- and record-date announcement covers a broad lineup of option income funds tied to individual equities, short strategies, indexes, gold miners and Bitcoin exposure through options-based structures. YieldMax said payment is due on July 31, 2026, and disclosed estimated return-of-capital levels that in some cases make up a large share of distributions. The firm also said the 30-Day SEC Yield excludes option income, distributions are not guaranteed, and future payouts may differ significantly from the latest distribution rate figures.
