AIYY Distribution — Quick Facts
  • By the record: 73 payments sit in the record, the first on January 5, 2024, and as of October 4, 2026 $8.97 per share arrived over the last twelve months in 51 checks, versus $49.99 in the preceding year, down 82% — roughly 121% of the recent ~$7.41 share price.
  • Pays: weekly since the family's 2025 switch from four-week cycles.
  • First paid: January 2024 — every payment since is charted below.
  • What it is: a YieldMax fund that sells call spreads on C3.ai (AI), converting the stock's volatility into distributable premium. It does not simply hold the stock.
  • Fee: 0.99% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page).
  • The angle: the most misread ticker in the family: the underlying is C3.ai Inc (ticker AI) — one volatile small-cap software company, not the AI sector.

The income is option premium, not C3.ai profits: AIYY caps its upside when AI rallies and keeps most of the downside when it falls. Below: what selling C3.ai's speculative premium has actually paid, dated.

Where AIYY Fits in the YieldMax Family

Every YieldMax single-stock fund runs the same machine on a different engine: sell C3.ai's rallies for premium, keep its declines, pay the premium out. What varies is the engine's temperament — and AI's temperament is the whole story of this chart. Contrast AIYY with the diversified CHPY (a whole chip basket) via the compare tool; the Erosion Index shows what the yield cost.

When Is AIYY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?

AIYY pays weekly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from AIYY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.

AIYY's Record So Far

AIYY — the YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF — launched in November 2023 and has paid since January 2024; the most misread ticker in the family: the underlying is C3.ai Inc (ticker AI) — one volatile small-cap software company, not the AI sector. AIYY's full declared history is charted; yearly sums live in the table.

How the Machine Works

The fund sells call spreads on AI, harvesting the premium the market pays for C3.ai's future volatility, and distributes that premium weekly. Every AI-hype rally beyond the strikes escapes; every AI-winter drawdown lands. Small underlying plus huge premium equals the family's most boom-bust record per dollar. Our compare tool overlays exactly that.

AIYY Lives at the Extremes

AIYY's spiky record is its underlying's personality. Before annualizing anything here, read the stats board and Erosion Index — this fund lives at their extremes.
