BTCI Dividend Calculator
NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF distributes every month. The field below opens with BTCI's own recorded trailing payout of $11.5439 per share, as of 2026-08-18.
Enter the share price you are paying to see the projection. We publish no price data, so this is the one figure the page cannot fill in for you.
Payout figures read from NEOS on Aug 18, 2026. You supply the share price. The BTCI record page holds every payment behind these figures.
What the BTCI Calculator Loads, and the Arithmetic Behind It
The 12 BTCI payments with ex-dates between August 20, 2025 and August 18, 2026 add up to $11.5439 per share once split adjustment is applied. Worked on a round position, 1,000 shares collected 1,000 × $11.5439 = $11,543.90 across that window, which is $961.99 a month if you flatten it and $961.99 per payment on the 12-payment cadence. The calculator performs the same multiplication against whatever share count your investment and share price produce.
Year one of the model is that same multiplication; each later year multiplies $11.5439 by one plus the growth rate you type. The methodology page states the rest.
What BTCI's monthly Cadence Does to the Model
BTCI distributes every month, which is 12 payments a year. The projection above steps once a year, so a twenty-year run performs 20 reinvestments where BTCI would have offered 240. Every payment between the annual steps is treated as though it arrived on the last day of the year. Observed gaps between BTCI ex-dates ran 27 to 36 days, median 28.
Reinvesting each of those 12 payments as it landed, rather than once at the end of the year, earns more than the annual step shows, because earlier shares collect later payments. Holding the share price flat so timing is the only moving part, and computed from BTCI's own payment weights, a 4% distribution rate gives 1.84% more first-year income, and a 20% distribution rate gives 9.63% more first-year income. The effect scales with the rate you are modelling, which is why it matters more for a high-distribution fund than for a slow grower, and it stays small next to the variability in the payout itself.
One term decides how far the annual step falls short, and for BTCI it is 45.5%: a measure of how evenly the window's cash is split across its payments. A single lump scores zero, four equal payments 37.5%, twelve 45.8%, and fifty-two 49.0%. BTCI sits near the even end, which is where the annual-step model understates reinvestment most.
Where BTCI's Cash Actually Landed
The 12 complete calendar months ending Jul 2026, from BTCI's recorded ex-dates, split-adjusted, as of 2026-08-18. Income is what 1,000 shares would have collected. A projection divides one annual figure by twelve; the record did this instead.
| Month | Payments | Per Share | On 1,000 Shares | Share of Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2025 | 1 | $1.4153 | $1,415.30 | 12.3% |
| Sep 2025 | 1 | $1.3401 | $1,340.10 | 11.6% |
| Oct 2025 | 1 | $1.2999 | $1,299.90 | 11.3% |
| Nov 2025 | 1 | $1.0181 | $1,018.10 | 8.8% |
| Dec 2025 | 1 | $0.9967 | $996.70 | 8.6% |
| Jan 2026 | 1 | $1.0427 | $1,042.70 | 9.0% |
| Feb 2026 | 1 | $0.7608 | $760.80 | 6.6% |
| Mar 2026 | 1 | $0.7804 | $780.40 | 6.8% |
| Apr 2026 | 1 | $0.7982 | $798.20 | 6.9% |
| May 2026 | 1 | $0.7934 | $793.40 | 6.9% |
| Jun 2026 | 1 | $0.6525 | $652.50 | 5.7% |
| Jul 2026 | 1 | $0.6458 | $645.80 | 5.6% |
| 12 months | 12 | $11.5439 | $11,543.90 | 100.0% |
Aug 2025 was the largest month at $1.4153 per share, carrying 12.3% of the 12-month total on its own. The quietest was Jul 2026 at $0.6458, a factor of 2.2 between the two.
Shares and Capital for a Monthly Income Target from BTCI
Share counts that would have produced each monthly target at BTCI's recorded trailing payout of $11.5439 per share, as of 2026-08-18. This is division on a recorded figure, not advice, and the payout can move. We hold no price for BTCI and publish none, so there is no capital column. Multiply the share count by the price you can actually buy at.
| Monthly Target | A Year | BTCI Shares | Average per Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200 | $2,400 | 208 | $200.09 |
| $750 | $9,000 | 780 | $750.35 |
| $2,000 | $24,000 | 2,080 | $2,000.94 |
| $5,000 | $60,000 | 5,198 | $5,000.43 |
On the record above, that same 2,080-share position aiming at $2,000 a month would have collected $2,943.82 in Aug 2025 and $1,343.26 in Jul 2026. The average is not the month. The record-side arithmetic, at different target levels, is on the BTCI record page.
The Growth Input for BTCI
There is no rate BTCI's record supports, and this page will not invent one. Growth needs two complete calendar years of payouts, or two full years of coverage. Our BTCI record starts 2024-10-23 and holds one complete calendar year across 22 payments. On the record we hold, the rolling comparison can first be computed on October 23, 2026 and the calendar-year comparison on January 1, 2027, so this figure fills in around October 2026 as long as BTCI keeps distributing on its current schedule.
Leave the field at zero for the run you take seriously, which models BTCI paying what it has paid, then run it again at a rate you can defend. The distance between the two answers is the part that came from you rather than from the record.
What Makes BTCI Hard to Model
Each item is triggered by something computed from BTCI's own record and carries the figure that triggered it.
BTCI's payout is generated, not declared, so a growth rate is the wrong control. NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF pays out of an index position combined with an options overlay run for distributable cash. An operating company sets a dividend as policy and moves it in small deliberate steps, which is exactly the behaviour a constant annual growth rate describes. How much cash that produces depends on option pricing in the period rather than on earnings growth at the companies held. Our record bears that out: across trailing twelve months BTCI's payments ran from $0.6458 to $1.4153, a spread of 119%. The growth field on this calculator was built for the first kind of payer. On this one it compounds a number nobody is steering.
BTCI's record cannot supply a growth rate, so any rate you type is invented. A growth figure needs two comparable windows to set against each other, and our BTCI record holds 22 payments from October 23, 2024 with one complete calendar year in them. One window is not a comparison. On our BTCI record the earliest it can be filled is October 2026.
A single BTCI payment is a bad basis for an annual figure. Across trailing twelve months the smallest BTCI payment was $0.6458 on July 22, 2026 and the largest $1.4153 on August 20, 2025, a spread of 119%. Multiplying those by the 12 payments a year the cadence implies gives $16.98 against $7.75 per share, so the annual dividend field could be filled with figures 2.2 times apart depending only on which payment you happened to look at. Use a summed trailing figure rather than any one payment.
BTCI's payments moved inside the window the model treats as one flat year. Splitting the 12 payments at February 17, 2026, the 6 before it averaged $1.1855 and the 6 after averaged $0.7385, which is 38% smaller. The projection model has no way to represent a drift inside a year: it takes one annual figure and one growth rate. Feeding it a trailing total that spans both halves builds in a payout level that neither half actually paid.
BTCI pays every month, but not the same amount each month. Across the 12 complete months in the window, Aug 2025 delivered $1.4153 per share and Jul 2026 delivered $0.6458, a factor of 2.2. A projection reports one annual number; Aug 2025 alone carried 12% of the window's total. Treat the average month as an accounting convenience rather than a budget.
Starting a BTCI Projection Today
A projection books a full year of income in year one. Today is August 21, 2026, 233 days into 2026. BTCI has already gone ex-dividend 7 times in 2026, for $5.4738 per share, and buying now collects none of it. On the observed cadence, about 5 more payments would fall before 31 December, which is 42% of a normal year for BTCI. That is a read of the record rather than a schedule BTCI has published.
Nothing further is declared for BTCI on our record, so every payment inside the projection is a modelled one. Based on the 28-day gap the record shows, the next ex-date would ordinarily land between Aug 11, 2026 and Aug 27, 2026, which is a pattern rather than an announcement. Read year one as twelve months from your purchase date, not the rest of this calendar year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What annual dividend figure should I use for BTCI?
$11.5439 per share, the sum of the 12 split-adjusted BTCI payments with ex-dates between August 20, 2025 and August 18, 2026, read from NEOS: BTCI fund page (distribution history) on 2026-08-18. It is already in the field. It records what was paid; it is not a rate the payer has committed to.
What growth rate should I put in the BTCI calculator?
Zero for the run you take seriously, then a second run at a rate you can defend out loud. BTCI has no two comparable windows on our record, so there is no realised rate to offer you and we will not invent one. On our BTCI record the earliest it can be filled is October 2026.
How many BTCI shares would pay $5,000 a month?
About 5,198 shares at the trailing payout of $11.5439 per share, which is $60,000 a year. Spread over 12 payments a year that averages $5,000.43 a payment, and the payments are not equal. What that costs depends on the price you pay, which we do not publish.
Are taxes included in the BTCI projection?
No. Every figure the calculator produces is pre-tax and ignores trading costs. Fund distributions can carry components taxed differently from qualified dividends, and the split arrives with the year-end tax documents rather than with each payment.
Why does the BTCI calculator ask me for the share price?
Because we publish no prices. Every figure here carries the date its source was read, and a live quote cannot. NEOS Investments publishes no distribution rate for BTCI that we could turn into an implied price by arithmetic, so the price field starts empty.
Every payment, split adjustment, and calendar-year total behind these figures is on the BTCI dividend history page. Other payers whose distributions come out of an options programme are listed on the coverage table. The general-purpose tools sit on the calculator hub, and the model is written out on the methodology page.
