- By the record: 70 payments sit in the record, the first on June 6, 2025, and as of October 4, 2026 $7.10 per share arrived over the last twelve months in 52 checks, and a prior-year comparison has to wait until the record is two years deep — close to 127% of the ~$5.61 share price.
- Pays: weekly.
- First paid: June 2025.
- What it is: GraniteShares' YieldBOOST fund on BITCOIN — income from option strategies on leveraged bitcoin-ETF exposure. The TSYY/NVYY design pointed at the original crypto asset.
- Headline rate: trailing figures approaching 200% — the most extreme number in our bitcoin-income lineup, and the least meaningful as a forecast.
- The stack of risks: bitcoin's swings, times leverage, minus the upside the options sell — every layer compounds.
XBTY earns income from options on leveraged bitcoin exposure; its payouts and share price are the most volatile of the bitcoin-income funds we track.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $7.10 per share across 52 payments — paying since Jun 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $1.69 — 76% below the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from XBTY'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.
Our bitcoin-income shelf runs from mild to wild: BTCI (tax-managed, monthly), YBTC (straight covered calls), BITO (futures pass-through) — and now XBTY, which adds leverage under the option overlay. The premiums are the shelf's largest; so is every associated cost, from leveraged drawdowns to reset decay.
A trailing rate near 200% should be read as a volatility gauge, nothing more. The backtest above — what a real dollar actually became — is the only number that settles arguments about funds like this.

When Is XBTY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
XBTY 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 XBTY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
XBTY's Record So Far
XBTY — the GraniteShares YieldBOOST Bitcoin ETF — began paying in June 2025 and promptly posted the most extreme numbers in our bitcoin-income lineup: weekly checks that started large and, as crypto cooled into 2026, slid toward pennies, with a trailing rate near 200% averaging the whole ride.
The Leverage Tax, Illustrated Weekly
Leveraged exposure doesn't just amplify direction — it pays a quiet toll in every choppy stretch, as resets lock in losses that unleveraged holders ride through. Layer option-selling on top and the fund monetizes its own turbulence while bearing it doubled. When bitcoin trends smoothly up, the machine hums; every other regime, the toll collects. Sixteen months of chart above show both modes.
Where XBTY Fits
For crypto-native traders who understand leveraged decay and want maximum current cash from a bitcoin view — in sizes that treat it as the speculation it is. Everyone else is better served one or two steps down the shelf at YBTC or BTCI. Next expected date on the live calendar.
