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

At $8.11 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 740 MSTY shares, about $9,021 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $12.19. $1,000 a month takes about 1,480 shares, about $18,041. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) pays $0.156 a share weekly, $8.11 a year, a 66.55% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $12.19. It has made 75 distribution payments since 2024.

At today’s rate of $0.156 weekly and the last close of $12.19, this is what MSTY pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach weekPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.156$0.68$8.11
100 shares$15.60$67.60$811.20

1,480 shares ($1,000/mo)$230.88$1,000.48$12,005.76

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 MSTY shares reinvest into 1.28 new shares each payment, about 93.7 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 79 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 MSTY’s own history in the MSTY DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 9, 2026, MSTY paid $17.94 a share while its NAV per share fell from $48.59 to $12.42. Total return was -$18.23 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $18.23 more on top.

MSTY Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

14/100Well below its usual yieldvs its 2-yr history
  • MSTY yields 66.55% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $12.19.
  • Its own 2-year median is 94.10%, so today’s yield is well below 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.
Since Apr 2024: lowest to highest month-end yield
65.91% low188.26% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 2-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

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 MSTY’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

MSTY has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 7 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 12, 2026, with the cash around Nov 13, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.156 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 MSTY declares, its MSTY next payout estimate is on its YieldMax tracker page. Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

How Often Does MSTY Pay?

MSTY pays weekly, 52 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 7 days, and the cash usually lands about 1 days later.

MSTY vs Similar YieldMax Funds (CHPY, TSLY...)

Against the 10 YieldMax funds closest to MSTY in fund size, MSTY’s 66.55% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 41.23%. 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 10, 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 8 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.
