MSTY dividend history: every payout since 2024, and what they added up to
MSTY has paid 76 distributions since April 2024, monthly at first and weekly since late 2025, adding up to about 225% of its launch price. The record by year, the latest weekly payouts, and what reinvesting them did against keeping the cash.
Short answers
How much does MSTY pay a week?
The latest MSTY payout, ex-date November 12, 2026, was 0.142 a share, about 1.26% of that day's price. The last fourteen weekly payouts ranged from 0.142 to 0.342 a share, and 52 of its 75 payouts so far were lower than the one before.
What is MSTY's dividend yield?
Over the twelve months to November 13, 2026 MSTY paid 17.21 a share against a close of 10.98, about 157% of the price. That figure is mostly the share price coming back as cash: MSTY's price fell about 90% from its first close, so the yield is high because the price is low.
Should you reinvest MSTY dividends?
History does not say what to do, but it shows what happened: 10,000 bought at MSTY's first month end was worth about 10,800 at the November 13, 2026 close with every payout reinvested, and about 19,800 with the payouts taken as cash, because each reinvested payout bought shares that then fell. Had MSTR kept rising, reinvesting would have come out ahead.
MSTY payouts by year
Per share, split adjusted, with each year's payouts summed as a share of the price on each ex-date. 2024 (April to December, 9 monthly payouts): 137.56 a share, about 95.7% of the price, between 9.27 and 22.11 each. 2025 (21 payouts, monthly then weekly): 87.21 a share, about 97.8%, between 0.387 and 11.87. 2026 through November 12 (46 weekly payouts): 13.62 a share, about 70.5%, between 0.142 and 0.555.
The per-share amounts fell mainly because the share price fell: MSTY's payout is a share of a price that went from about 126 (split adjusted) at the end of February 2024 to 10.98 on November 13, 2026.

From MSTY's first month end (February 2024) to November 13, 2026, 10,000 grew to about 10,800 with payouts reinvested, close to the same money in MSTR (about 10,900). Taken as cash, the payouts plus the remaining shares came to about 19,800, because most of the cash was paid out in 2024 and early 2025, before MSTR fell. Over its whole life, with payouts reinvested, MSTY returned about 9.5% a year against MSTR's 17.9%; the MSTY review has the comparison by year.
How we measured
Daily closing prices and distributions from Yahoo Finance through the November 13, 2026 close, split adjusted. The DRIP figures buy at a month-end close and value at the last close; reinvesting buys more shares on each ex-date, and cash kept earns nothing. Each fund is compared with what it tracks on exactly the same days. No taxes or trading costs are included, and past returns do not predict future ones. This is a measurement, not advice for anyone's account.
Measured from daily closes and distributions, every payout reinvested, each fund against its index on the same days. Past returns do not predict future ones. This is education, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
