- By the record: the record runs from November 8, 2023 to October 4, 2026 across 75 payments, the last twelve months contributing $18.51 per share over 51 checks, which is down 57% from $43.10 twelve months prior — close to 82% of the ~$22.65 share price.
- Pays: weekly under the 2025 cadence regime.
- First paid: November 2023 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: a YieldMax fund that sells call spreads on Block (XYZ), converting the stock's volatility into distributable premium. It does not simply hold the stock.
- Fee: 1.36% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page) — the priciest of the funds on this wave.
- The history: launched as SQY in October 2023, when Block still traded as SQ; both tickers changed after Block's January 2025 rename to XYZ. Same fund, same record.
The income is option premium, not Block profits: XYZY caps its upside when XYZ rallies and keeps most of the downside when it falls. The chart below is Block's option market, cashed out check by check.
XYZY pays weekly. Each point below is one distribution since the fund began paying in November 2023.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from XYZY'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 Block's rallies for premium, keep its declines, pay the premium out. What varies is the engine's temperament — and XYZ's temperament is the whole story of this chart. The compare tool and Erosion Index keep XYZY's score against anything on the shelf.

When Is XYZY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
XYZY 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 XYZY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
XYZY's Record So Far
XYZY — the YieldMax XYZ Option Income Strategy ETF — launched in October 2023 and has paid since November 2023; fintech volatility with a twist of history. All declared XYZY distributions appear above, totaled by year below.
How the Machine Works
The fund sells call spreads on XYZ, harvesting the premium the market pays for Block's future volatility, and distributes that premium weekly. Upside past the strikes goes to the option buyer — and Block's sharpest moves are exactly the kind that blow past strikes — while its drawdowns stay home. Judge by total return, never rate. Our compare tool overlays exactly that.
Block renamed itself and its ticker (SQ became XYZ) in 2025, and the fund's ticker followed — one more reason its chart confuses screeners, and one more reason the dated record above beats any headline lookup. Screeners that lost the thread at the rename often misreport this fund's history entirely; the chart here carried the continuity through.
Fintech Calm, Crypto Spikes
XYZY's arc follows its underlying's identity crisis — fintech calm punctuated by crypto-correlated spikes. The payout statistics place its pace against the family.
