How Many BPI Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.54 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 11,112 BPI shares, about $232,796 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.95. $1,000 a month takes about 22,223 shares, about $465,572. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (BPI) pays $0.045 a share monthly, $0.54 a year, a 2.58% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.95. It has made 35 distribution payments since 2025.

At today’s rate of $0.045 monthly and the last close of $20.95, this is what BPI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.045$0.05$0.54
100 shares$4.50$4.50$54.00

22,223 shares ($1,000/mo)$1,000.04$1,000.04$12,000.42

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 BPI shares reinvest into 0.21 new shares each payment, about 2.6 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 466 shares. Here the share count grows fast partly because the price keeps falling: more shares, each worth less, so count the shares and their value together. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with BPI’s own history in the BPI DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, BPI paid $4.40 a share while its share price fell from $34.36 to $20.95. Total return was -$9.01 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $9.01 more on top.

BPI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Too new to rate — paying since 2025
  • BPI yields 2.58% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $20.95.
  • Too new to rate — paying since 2025. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
Since Apr 2025: lowest to highest month-end yield
4.07% low24.79% high
Blue mark = today. A higher yield means a lower price against the payout.

How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

When Is BPI’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

BPI has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 15 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 27, 2026, with the cash around Nov 30, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.045 a share, went ex on Nov 12, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 15 days (monthly)
  • Payment: usually about 3 days after the ex-date

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

How Often Does BPI Pay?

BPI pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 15 days, and the cash usually lands about 3 days later.

BPI vs Similar Dividend Funds (WDNA, ARVR...)

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to BPI in fund size, BPI’s 2.58% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 0.65%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular distribution per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 13, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 6 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
