Payout risk check

Distribution stabilityElevated risk

YBIT's last 12 distributions were variable (consistency score 70/100).

Its share price moved -59.9% over the past year.

A 67.7% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.

This is a rule-based screen computed from public data, not a rating or a recommendation. Read our guide to yield traps for what the signals mean.

YBIT distribution FAQ

When is YBIT's next ex-distribution date?

YBIT's next ex-distribution date is Oct 29, 2026 (in 4 days, estimated from its weekly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.2324 per share, expected on Nov 12, 2026.

How often does YBIT pay distributions?

How much does YBIT pay per share?

YBIT pays about $0.2324 per share each week, which works out to roughly $12.0866 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $1,208.66 a year.

Has YBIT grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last year the regular payout changed -65.6%. As a fund, YBIT's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.
