About MSTX Dividends

This page shows the complete MSTX dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MSTR ETF (MSTX) is issued by Defiance. Daily 2x leveraged exposure to MicroStrategy (MSTR) via swaps, futures, and options — does NOT hold MSTR directly. Leverage resets every day and is designed for short-term tactical trading, not buy-and-hold: over periods longer than a single day, leverage decay can cause losses even when MSTR rises. Launched August 2024 by Defiance. Not a dividend/income vehicle in the traditional sense.

MSTX dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does MSTX pay dividends?▾
MSTX pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment MSTX has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own MSTX before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the MSTX dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend MSTX has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For MSTX, the current yield is roughly 0.00% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are MSTX dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
MSTX distributions are typically a mix of ordinary income, short-term capital gains, and return of capital. The exact breakdown is disclosed each year on the 1099-DIV. Covered-call ETFs vary — some lean qualified, some lean ordinary, depending on the exact options strategy used. For tax planning, look at the fund's most recent 19a-1 notice or consult a tax advisor.
Why did MSTX distributions change so much month to month?▾
Options-income ETFs like MSTX generate distributions from selling call options, and option premium is a direct function of implied volatility. When the underlying is volatile, premium is fat and distributions are big; when the underlying is calm, premium shrinks and distributions fall. A 40% month-over-month change is normal. Large drops usually mean the underlying had a quiet month; large rises usually mean the underlying had a choppy or declining month with elevated volatility.
Where does this MSTX dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
