- By the record: 78 payments sit in the record, the first on September 8, 2023, and as of October 4, 2026 $5.80 per share arrived over the last twelve months in 51 checks, which is up 4% from $5.60 twelve months prior — roughly 48% of the recent ~$11.97 share price.
- Scale check: In dollars: $6.38 per trailing share on the family's calmest underlying — proof that premium scales with drama, not with company quality.
- The tape: In sequence: 72 checks since September 8, 2023 — $0.291 to start, a $0.694 peak on September 4, 2025, and $0.072 on August 20, 2026, against a recent ~$12.11 price.
- Pays: weekly, formerly on the four-week YieldMax cycle.
- First paid: September 2023 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: a YieldMax fund that sells call spreads on Alphabet (GOOGL), converting the stock's volatility into distributable premium. It does not simply hold the stock.
- Fee: 1.14% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page).
- The angle: one of the calmest underlyings in the family — which is exactly why its premiums (and payouts) run smaller than the crypto cousins.
The income is option premium, not Alphabet profits: GOOY caps its upside when GOOGL rallies and keeps most of the downside when it falls. Each point is a week of Alphabet's (modest) option premium, paid out.
GOOY pays weekly. Each point below is one distribution since the fund began paying in September 2023.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from GOOY'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.
Every YieldMax single-stock fund runs the same machine on a different engine: sell Alphabet's rallies for premium, keep its declines, pay the premium out. What varies is the engine's temperament — and GOOGL's temperament is the whole story of this chart. GOOY versus GOOW (Roundhill's leveraged weekly take on the same stock) is a one-click study on the compare tool; the Erosion Index adds the price verdict.

When Is GOOY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
GOOY 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 GOOY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
GOOY's Record So Far
GOOY — the YieldMax GOOGL Option Income Strategy ETF — launched in July 2023 and has paid since September 2023; one of the calmest underlyings in the family — which is exactly why its premiums (and payouts) run smaller than the crypto cousins. GOOY's complete payment record is above, condensed to yearly totals below.
How the Machine Works
The fund sells call spreads on GOOGL, harvesting the premium the market pays for Alphabet's future volatility, and distributes that premium weekly. The strikes cap Alphabet's steady climbs — which is most of what Alphabet does — making GOOY the family fund most likely to lag simply owning its underlying in good years. Our compare tool overlays exactly that.
Alphabet also pays a real dividend of its own now — tiny, but growing — which makes GOOY one of the few YieldMax funds whose underlying contributes actual dividend income on top of the option premium. The two streams show up together in the record above.
A Flat Line Is the Point Here
GOOY's flat, low line is the point: calm underlying, calm checks. The payout statistics rank it honestly against its louder siblings.
