- Pays: weekly — typically going ex-dividend early in the week.
- First paid: March 2025.
- What it is: Roundhill's WeeklyPay fund on COINBASE — swap-based exposure targeting 1.2x COIN's weekly return, with a distribution carved out every week.
- Not option income: like PLTW and HOOW, it sells nothing — the payout is a slice of a leveraged position, so upside isn't capped and downside is amplified.
- Headline rate: trailing figures above 200% — leveraged crypto-equity turbulence, converted to weekly cash flow.
COIW's distributions vary sharply week to week and carry return-of-capital mechanics; 1.2x leverage means it falls harder than Coinbase in down weeks.
COIW pays weekly. Each point below is one distribution since March 2025 — the swings between adjacent weeks are the honest headline.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from COIW'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.
Coinbase's stock already trades like a leveraged bet on crypto activity — revenue explodes in manias, evaporates in winters. COIW leverages that 1.2x and mails out a weekly slice. Nothing is earned in the option-income sense; the checks are scheduled withdrawals from an amplified position, fat after good weeks and thin after bad ones, with leverage-reset decay taxing every choppy stretch.
The comparison that matters: CONY, YieldMax's option-income take on the same stock — premiums and caps versus leverage and slices. Two machines, one underlying, both charted on this site. The backtest above scores COIW against simply owning COIN.

When Is COIW's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
COIW pays weekly — typically going ex-dividend early in the week. 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 COIW's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
COIW's Record So Far
COIW — the Roundhill COIN WeeklyPay ETF — began paying in March 2025, riding Coinbase's crypto-cycle whiplash at 1.2x ever since: a trailing rate above 200%, weekly checks spanning severalfold ranges, and a share price that has worn every amplified drawdown. The chart above is the whole ride, honestly drawn.
WeeklyPay Mechanics, Crypto Edition
The design matches siblings PLTW and HOOW: swaps target 1.2x the stock's weekly return, a distribution is carved out regardless, and leverage resets weekly. Applied to a crypto-linked equity, every feature intensifies — the good weeks are enormous, the bad ones doubly so, and sideways chop quietly grinds. Return-of-capital tax character runs throughout.
Where COIW Fits
For a Coinbase bull who wants amplified exposure with a weekly cash drip and accepts the decay mathematics. For the income-harvest version of the same conviction, see CONY; for the coin itself, YBTC. Next expected date on the live calendar.
