# YieldMax META ETF Lowers Weekly Distribution 27% to $0.0698 By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/37385 Published: 2026-10-22T03:19:22.000Z Updated: 2026-10-22T03:19:22.000Z Section: Investing > Oct. 22 is the ex-dividend and record date, and payment is scheduled for Oct. 23. YieldMax set a $0.0698-per-share weekly distribution for its META Option Income Strategy ETF (FBY), a 27% decrease from the previous week’s payout. Payment is scheduled for Oct. 23, with Oct. 22 set as the ex-dividend and record date. The latest distribution is $0.0258 per share below the prior $0.0956 payment. YieldMax’s [previous FBY distribution]() was scheduled for payment on Oct. 16. The fund listed a 40.46% distribution rate calculated as of the Oct. 20 close. That rate annualizes the latest payment against the fund’s net asset value, so it is not a measure of total return or a promise of future payments. FBY’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.43% for the period ended Sept. 30; the measure excludes option income. FBY’s strategy uses options tied to Meta Platforms and short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The fund writes calls to generate premiums, a strategy that can limit its participation in gains when META rises. Distributions can vary and may include a return of investor capital. They may also reduce the fund’s net asset value and trading price. The next payment is scheduled for Oct. 23. ## Links in this article - [previous FBY distribution](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/31851)
