- Pays: weekly — typically going ex-dividend early in the week.
- First paid: March 2025.
- What it is: Roundhill's WeeklyPay fund on TESLA — swap-based exposure targeting 1.2x TSLA's weekly return, with a weekly distribution carved out.
- The crowded field: Tesla now has three income wrappers on this site — TSLY (options, 1x), TSYY (options on 2x), and TSLW (1.2x leverage, no options). Same stock, three different machines.
- Headline rate: trailing figures above 100% — Tesla's turbulence, leveraged and sliced weekly.
TSLW's distributions vary sharply week to week and carry return-of-capital mechanics; 1.2x leverage means it falls harder than Tesla in down weeks.
TSLW pays weekly. Each point below is one distribution since March 2025.

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 TSLW'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.
Tesla's stock generates so much drama that an entire product category monetizes it, three different ways. TSLY sells options on 1x exposure (income, capped upside). TSYY sells options on 2x (everything doubled). TSLW skips options entirely: 1.2x leveraged exposure with a weekly slice distributed — uncapped upside, amplified downside, decay in the chop.
Which machine 'wins' depends entirely on Tesla's path — trending, crashing, or chopping favor different wrappers — which makes the three charts side by side one of this site's best object lessons. The backtest above scores TSLW against simply holding TSLA.

When Is TSLW's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
TSLW 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 TSLW's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
TSLW's Record So Far
TSLW — the Roundhill TSLA WeeklyPay ETF — began paying in March 2025 and has distributed every week since, its amounts whipsawing with each leveraged Tesla week. The trailing rate above 100% averages a ride that individual weeks describe far more honestly — see the chart.
Leverage, Sliced Weekly
The WeeklyPay wrapper — identical to PLTW and HOOW — holds swaps targeting 1.2x the stock's calendar-week return and pays a slice out regardless of direction. Applied to Tesla, history's most emotionally traded large stock, the result is maximum-amplitude weekly cash flow with return-of-capital character and reset decay as the standing costs.
Where TSLW Fits
For a Tesla bull who wants amplified exposure and a weekly drip — knowingly, and in trading-sized positions. The income-first alternatives on the same stock are TSLY and TSYY; comparing all three charts is the education itself. Next expected date on the live calendar.
