- The underlying pays nothing. Berkshire Hathaway has never paid a dividend. Every cent BRKC distributes comes from selling options against synthetic exposure to the stock, or from capital being returned — there is no underlying dividend to pass through.
- Return of capital: 89.01% of the October 28, 2026 distribution, against 10.99% income, from the footnote on YieldMax's page.
- The shortest monthly era here: only 4 of BRKC's 59 distributions were monthly — it launched July 10, 2025 and switched to weekly on October 16, 2025, three months later.
- The record: four monthly payments of $0.5029 to $0.9975, then 55 weekly ones from $0.0819 to $0.4093, median $0.1479.
- Size, price and fee: $8.19M of net assets at a $40.95 NAV — the second highest share price of these twenty funds — on a 1.01% gross expense ratio, with a 20.98% distribution rate and a 2.81% SEC yield.
Berkshire's whole proposition is retaining earnings instead of distributing them. A fund that manufactures a 20.98% distribution rate out of that position is doing something the underlying company specifically declines to do, and the 89.01% return-of-capital estimate is where that shows up in the accounting. The figures quoted in the text on this page are those the issuer published for the 29 October 2026 ex-date; the chart and the table above are drawn live from the payment record and show every distribution since, including any declared after that date.
Each point is a declared BRKC distribution from July 10, 2025. There are only four monthly payments at the left-hand end before the October 2025 switch, so this chart is almost entirely weekly — the step is there but brief.

"Next expected" is estimated from BRKC's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
Berkshire Hathaway does not pay a dividend and has not for decades. BRKC nonetheless shows a 20.98% distribution rate, and all of it is engineered: option premium from calls sold against synthetic BRKB exposure, plus returned capital.
The issuer's own split for the latest check is 89.01% return of capital to 10.99% income. For a holder that means most of that payment is their own capital, drawn out of a $40.95 NAV. Whether that is a reasonable trade is a judgement; what it is not is Berkshire paying a dividend. The compare tool charts the distributions against the share price.

When Is BRKC's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
BRKC pays weekly — declared each Wednesday, ex-dividend the Thursday — after just four monthly payments in 2025. 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 BRKC's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Fifty-Nine Distributions, Fifty-Five of Them Weekly
BRKC launched into a schedule change. Its first distribution was July 10, 2025 and by October 16, 2025 the whole Group 2 cohort had moved to weekly payments, so only 4 of its 59 distributions were ever monthly. Those four ran $0.5029 to $0.9975. The 55 weekly ones since span $0.0819 to $0.4093 with a median of $0.1479, and the latest is $0.1653 for the October 29, 2026 ex-date.
An Income Fund on a Company That Retains Everything
The point of Berkshire, by its own long-stated reasoning, is that capital compounds better inside the company than in a shareholder's hands. BRKC inverts that: it writes calls against synthetic BRKB exposure and hands out cash weekly. The mechanism works — 59 consecutive distributions is the record — but the 89.01% return-of-capital estimate on that payment says most of it is capital leaving the fund rather than premium it earned.
What to Watch Next
The weekly band is wide for an underlying this placid: $0.0819 to $0.4093 is a factor of five. Whether the return-of-capital share stays near 89% is the number that matters most, because a fund holding a payment level on returned capital is drawing down the $8.19M of net assets it is charging 1.01% against. Each new declaration lands on this page with its own composition figure.
