YieldMax CRCL Option Income Strategy ETF (CRCO) Dividend
YieldMax CRCL Option Income Strategy ETF (CRCO) currently pays a dividend yield of 94.66%, distributing $15.76 per share annually ($0.30 per payment).
This is a trailing yield: the last 12 months of distributions divided by today's share price. A figure this high almost always means an option-income fund that sells upside for premium and pays the premium out as distributions, so the share price erodes while the headline yield stays enormous. It is not a forecast, and it is not free money — a large part of it is your own capital coming back to you. Check the fund's NAV trend before treating any of it as income.
