What the record shows

MSTY has paid weekly distributions since 2024. Over the last 12 months, 50 payments totaled $27.268 per share and produced a trailing yield of 162.21%. The recent payment trend has turned higher, with the recent average 35.4% above the prior average. Payment amounts have moved lower more often than higher.

MSTY’s annual distribution total fell to $87.214 per share in 2025 from $137.555 in 2024, a 36.6% decline. The later full year therefore delivered a lower distribution total than the fund’s first payment year, despite the recent increase in the average payment.

Over the last 12 months, MSTY’s price fell 77.9%, while distributions equaled 35.9% of the price a year earlier. Those distributions offset only part of the price decline, leaving approximate total return at -42%. High cash payouts therefore coincided with a much larger loss in market price, returning part of the capital through the falling price.
