At today’s rate of $0.307 weekly and the last close of $18.44, this is what FIAT pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each week | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.307 | $1.33 | $15.96 |
| 100 shares | $30.70 | $133.03 | $1,596.40 |
| $10,000 invested (542.3 shares) | $166.49 | $721.44 | $8,657.27 |
| 376 shares ($500/mo) | $115.43 | $500.21 | $6,002.46 |
| 752 shares ($1,000/mo) | $230.86 | $1,000.41 | $12,004.93 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FIAT shares reinvest into 1.66 new shares each payment, about 136.0 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 61 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 FIAT’s own history in the FIAT DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 12, 2026, FIAT paid $17.79 a share while its NAV per share fell from $25.31 to $18.47. Distributions exceeded total return by $6.84 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.
- NAV trend: is the fund’s share price holding up report
- Lifetime total return: did holders make money since launch rating
- Distribution funded by NAV: is it paying you with your own money report
- Earned vs paid: does total return cover what it pays rating
- Distribution stability: how much the payout jumps around history
- Distribution trend: is the payout growing or shrinking history
- Crash test: how the fund held up in market drops history
- Yield sanity: is the yield too high to be believable rating
- NAV-eroding class: funds that pay out more than they make report
FIAT Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FIAT yields 86.57% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $18.44.
- Its own 2-year median is 77.57%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout moves with option income, so it has no steady yield norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 2-year history as it is.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 2 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 FIAT’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026
FIAT has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual gap of about 7 days the next ex-date was due around Nov 12, 2026, and it is not on file yet: it may be late, or still to be announced. The latest one, $0.307 a share, went ex on Nov 5, 2026 and paid Nov 6, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 7 days (weekly)
- Payment: usually about 1 days after the ex-date
Before FIAT declares, its FIAT next payout estimate is on its YieldMax tracker page. Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.
How Often Does FIAT Pay?
FIAT pays weekly, 52 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 7 days, and the cash usually lands about 1 days later.
FIAT vs Similar YieldMax Funds (BRKC, XYZY...)
Against the 10 YieldMax funds closest to FIAT in fund size, FIAT’s 86.57% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 44.34%. 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.
