What MSTY earned, and what it may pay
How much of MSTR’s rise MSTY still follows
MSTY has sold away part of its gains to pay you. This is where that starts and stops, if MSTR finishes there on Aug 14, 2026.
Below $101, MSTY keeps up with MSTR in full. Above $102 only 77% of its position still follows — that is the upside it sold to pay this week’s distribution.
Above $107 it follows in full again, because the fund bought calls back at that level.
Whether MSTY gives up meaningful upside here comes down to where MSTR trades by Aug 14, 2026. To judge how likely that is, you need a view on MSTR itself. Koyfin lets you compare the strike with its price history, earnings expectations and valuation — 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.

How MSTY dividend dates work
MSTY currently pays on a weekly schedule. For a YieldMax distribution, the declaration date is when the payout is announced, the ex-dividend date is the cutoff for owning shares, and the payment date is when the cash distribution is scheduled to be paid.
The ex-dividend date is the key date for investors: buying MSTY on or after that date means you do not receive that declared payment. Use the MSTY dividend calculator to model the income stream, or open the full MSTY dividend history for every past payment.
