GraniteShares YieldBOOST MARA ETF (MAAY) Dividend
GraniteShares YieldBOOST MARA ETF (MAAY) currently pays a dividend yield of 97.99%, distributing $4.42 per share annually ($0.08 per payment). The company operates in the Diversified Fund sector.
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.
