# YieldMax Sets $0.1805 Weekly Distribution for S&P 500 0DTE ETF By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/42062 Published: 2026-10-27T22:02:20.000Z Updated: 2026-10-27T22:02:20.000Z Section: Investing > The payment is $0.0006 below last week’s distribution. Oct. 28 is the ex-dividend and record date, with payment set for Oct. 29. YieldMax set a weekly distribution of $0.1805 per share for its YieldMax S&P 500 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (SDTY), with payment due Thursday, Oct. 29. The fund’s record and ex-dividend dates both fall Wednesday, Oct. 28; the record date determines which shareholders qualify for the payment. The new amount is $0.0006 below last week’s [SDTY distribution of $0.1811](). SDTY’s distribution rate stood at 23.40% as of Monday’s Oct. 26 close. The rate annualizes one payment using the fund’s latest net asset value (NAV), so it does not represent total return. SDTY’s SEC yield for the 30-day period ending Sept. 30 was -0.55%; that measure excludes option income. SDTY sells S&P 500 call options that expire on the day they are traded as part of its income strategy. The approach can limit gains if the index rises, while a decline can still leave the fund exposed to losses. YieldMax cautioned that “distributions are not guaranteed” and are “likely to vary greatly in amount.” ## Links in this article - [SDTY distribution of $0.1811](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/37417)
