YQQQ Dividend History

• This fund is short an index. YQQQ sells options against synthetic short exposure to the Nasdaq-100. An index is less volatile than any single stock in it, so there is less premium to collect and the share price moves inverse to the index.
• The record: 69 distributions since September 6, 2024 — 14 monthly at $0.1794 to $0.4483, then 55 weekly at $0.0312 to $0.126, the narrowest weekly band of these twenty funds.
• Return of capital: 0.00% on the October 28, 2026 distribution, 100.00% income, per YieldMax's own footnote.
• The two published yields: 23.38% distribution rate against a 3.21% 30-day SEC yield — a ratio of about 7 times, the tightest on this list.
• Size and fee: $14.94M of net assets, a $9.49 NAV, and a 1.11% gross expense ratio.

Diversification cuts both ways for an option seller. Spreading the short across 100 names smooths the payout — YQQQ's weekly checks have stayed inside $0.0312 to $0.126 where single-stock funds here swing by a factor of ten — and it also caps how much premium there is to collect. The figures quoted in the text on this page are those the issuer published for the 29 October 2026 ex-date; the chart and the table above are drawn live from the payment record and show every distribution since, including any declared after that date.

Each point is a declared YQQQ distribution from September 6, 2024, with 14 monthly payments before October 2025 and 55 weekly ones after. This is the flattest payout line of the twenty funds on this list, which is what writing options on an index rather than a stock looks like.

"Next expected" is estimated from YQQQ'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.

CRSH is short one car company and DIPS is short one chipmaker. YQQQ is short all 100 names in the Nasdaq-100 at once, and the difference shows up in the steadiness of the payout: its weekly distributions have stayed between $0.0312 and $0.126 across 55 payments, while CVNY's weekly range on Carvana alone runs $0.1808 to $1.3324.

The cost of that steadiness is the size of the check. YQQQ's 23.38% distribution rate is the second lowest of these twenty funds, against 70.3% for RBLY on Roblox. Less volatility, less premium, smaller distribution — and a share price that still moves opposite to the index.
