Loading MSTY's live payment data…
"Current pace" annualizes MSTY's last four payments; "trailing rate" sums the last twelve months of real payments. Both are before taxes and neither is a promise — MSTY's payout is variable by design.
Computed live from MSTY's most recent payments. Before taxes.

Every payment MSTY has ever made — with the next expected ex-dividend date — is charted on the MSTY dividend history page.
The number most yield sites won't show you — computed live from MSTY's own payment record.
Most calculators would happily compound MSTY's yield for decades and hand you a nine-figure fantasy. We won't: MSTY's payouts track option premiums on Strategy (MicroStrategy) stock — effectively leveraged bitcoin volatility, they have fallen roughly 75% from their year-ago pace, and the fund's own price does not behave like a growth asset. For the long-horizon truth, the history page's backtest replays real prices with real payouts. For decades-long compounding, use funds whose payouts actually grow — that's what the main calculator is for.
What MSTY Is — Bitcoin Volatility, Distilled Twice
MSTY sells option income on Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) stock — a company that is itself a leveraged bet on bitcoin. Volatility stacked on volatility produces the richest option premiums in the market, which is why MSTY's headline numbers have always been the family's most eye-popping, in both directions. Its trailing-year figure still looks otherworldly; its current weekly checks are a fraction of last year's. Both facts are on this page, live.
Reading the Two Rates Above
The trailing rate includes months when MSTR's volatility — and MSTY's checks — were several times today's size. The current pace annualizes the last four weekly payments. For MSTY the gap between those two numbers is the widest on this site, which is precisely why quoting the trailing figure alone (as most yield sites do) misleads. The full payment record, with the next expected ex-date, is on the MSTY dividend history page.
If You Hold It Anyway
MSTY is a tool for someone with a strong view on bitcoin volatility who wants that view paid out weekly — nothing gentler. The price rides MSTR's drawdowns with the upside capped by sold calls, the distributions carry return-of-capital components, and in a taxable account most of the income lands at ordinary rates. Judge it by total return on the history page's backtest, and read the YieldMax guide before the yield hypnotizes anyone.
