# YieldMax S&P 500 0DTE Covered Call ETF Sets $0.1811 Distribution By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/37417 Published: 2026-10-22T03:45:24.000Z Updated: 2026-10-22T03:45:24.000Z Section: Investing > The payout was $0.0036 below the prior week's $0.1847 distribution; its annualized rate was 23.40% as of Oct. 19. The YieldMax S&P 500 0DTE Covered Call ETF (SDTY) set a $0.1811 weekly distribution per share, $0.0036 below the prior week, with payment scheduled for Oct. 22 for shareholders of record on Oct. 21. Wednesday, Oct. 21, was also the ex-dividend date. The fund's distribution rate was 23.40% as of the Oct. 19 close. The rate annualizes the latest distribution against net asset value and does not represent total return. SDTY's 30-day SEC yield was -0.55% for the period ended Sept. 30; that measure excludes option income. A 100.00% return-of-capital figure was shown for SDTY as of Oct. 20. The distribution's final tax character will be determined on Form 1099-DIV. SDTY seeks current income and exposure to the S&P 500's price return by selling out-of-the-money call options that expire the same day. The strategy may limit gains when the index rises while exposing investors to losses if it falls. YieldMax also set a $0.2332 distribution for its [R2000 0DTE fund](), payable Oct. 22. ## Links in this article - [R2000 0DTE fund](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/37404)
