What the record shows

YBTC has paid weekly since 2024, with 104 payments in that span. Over the past year, 52 distributions totaled $11.052 per share and produced a trailing yield of 57.41%.

Recent distributions moved modestly higher. The recent average was $0.097 per share versus $0.0938 previously, a 3.5% increase. The latest distribution was $0.11 per share, 7.8% higher than the prior payment.

In 2025, YBTC distributed $21.634 per share. Its first year was short because payments began during it, so that annual total is not comparable with the later full year. Over the past year, the price fell 56.5%, while distributions equaled 25% of the price a year earlier. The high payout came with capital returned through the lower price, leaving an approximate total return of -31.5%.

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.
