At today’s rate of $0.02 quarterly and the last close of $5.51, this is what TBTC pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.02 | $0.01 | $0.08 |
| 100 shares | $2.00 | $0.67 | $8.00 |
| $10,000 invested (1,814.9 shares) | $36.30 | $12.10 | $145.19 |
| 75,000 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 150,000 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 TBTC shares reinvest into 0.36 new shares each payment, about 1.5 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 276 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

TBTC Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- TBTC yields 1.45% today, at the Nov 6, 2026 close of $5.51.
- Its own 3-year median is 1.00%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 3-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 3 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.
