Loading BTCI's live yield…
Uses BTCI's live trailing yield with a flat payout and flat price — option-income distributions swing with volatility, so treat every result as a midpoint, not a floor. Early years will track your real buying schedule only loosely — lump-sum timing shifts the first few years and washes out over decades. Open the full calculator →
Trailing-year income at the live rate, before taxes. Reminder: a share's trailing income fell about 30% from mid-2025 to mid-2026 with zero announced cuts — that swing is the product working as designed.

All 23 monthly distributions since the 2024 launch — the ramp, the peak, the fade — are charted on the BTCI dividend history page.
The yield here is BTCI's last twelve months of real cash distributions divided by today's share price — pulled live on every page load, never a marketing number. We deliberately seed 0% growth on both payout and price: with 23 payments of history and a volatility-driven mechanism, any growth assumption would be a guess wearing a suit.

How BTCI Actually Generates Income
The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF holds bitcoin exposure and sells call options against it, converting the market's fear and excitement into monthly cash. That means the distribution isn't a dividend in the classic sense — it's option premium, and premium prices volatility. Wild bitcoin months mint fat checks; quiet ones pay thin. The fund launched in 2024 and has never missed a monthly payment — the size just breathes.
The Number Everyone Quotes vs. the One That Matters
Headline yields on crypto income funds get screenshotted at their peak. The more useful lens: a single BTCI share collected about $15.39 in the year through late August 2025, and about $10.76 in the year after — roughly 30% less, purely from cooling volatility. Anyone modeling this fund should run both numbers through the projection above and decide if the range, not the peak, fits their plan. We track this drift across every crypto income fund on the payout statistics board.
Sizing a Volatile Payer
A common approach among income investors: let steady payers carry the base and cap swing payers like BTCI at a slice they can watch shrink without flinching. Type your actual share count into the income calculator on the BTCI payment page to see your real per-check figure, then stack it against your other funds on the paycheck calendar.
