What the record shows
MSTY has paid weekly only since 2024, giving it a relatively short distribution history. Over the last 12 months, it made 51 distributions totaling $22.866 per share, corresponding to a trailing yield of 139%.
The latest distribution of $0.311 was 9.1% lower than the previous payment. Across the latest four distributions, the average was $0.3013, which was 43.8% higher than the preceding average.
The first calendar year was short because payments began during 2024, so its annual total is not comparable with the following year's $87.214. Over the latest year, MSTY's price fell 77.7%, while distributions equaled 31% of the price a year earlier. The approximate total return was negative 46.7%, as the payouts only partly offset the falling price.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
