- Pays: weekly.
- First paid: January 2025.
- What it is: YieldMax's basket fund for the CRYPTO INDUSTRY — option income harvested across exchanges, miners, and bitcoin-treasury companies rather than one coin or one stock.
- The name: yes, the ticker is crypto-slang ('LFG') made fund — a hint about the intended audience.
- Headline rate: trailing figures near 87% — crypto-equity volatility is the family's richest premium source after single-stock drama.
LFGY makes no promise to pay any particular amount; each payout depends on option income earned across crypto-linked equities that move together with the crypto cycle.

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 LFGY'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.
LFGY applies the family's basket approach — many names, one pooled premium stream — to the crypto economy: the Coinbases, miners, and bitcoin-balance-sheet companies whose shares amplify every coin move. Diversification within the theme softens single-company blowups; the theme itself remains one master switch, and the 2026 checks have tracked crypto's cooling accordingly.
Its nearest relatives each solve the problem differently: BLOX (a competitor's crypto-equity basket), CONY (single-stock Coinbase), and YBTC (the coin itself). The backtest above keeps LFGY's honest score.

When Is LFGY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
LFGY 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 LFGY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
LFGY's Record So Far
LFGY — the YieldMax Crypto Industry & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF — launched in January 2025 into a hot crypto tape and has paid weekly since: heavier checks through the 2025 run, lighter ones as the cycle cooled, a trailing rate near 87% that averages both eras.
Sector Volatility as a Crop
Crypto-linked stocks routinely double the volatility of the coins themselves — operational leverage on top of asset drama — which makes their options the richest recurring premium source in the market. LFGY farms that crop weekly, with the family constant attached: capped rallies, kept drawdowns, ROC components throughout (the machinery, explained).
Where LFGY Fits
For crypto believers who want the sector's turbulence to pay them weekly while they hold the view — sized with the knowledge that checks and base cool together. Alternatives at each concentration level: CONY, YBTC, BLOX. Next expected date on the live calendar.
