What the record shows

MSTY has paid weekly since 2024, with 68 distributions, leaving a short payment history. Over the last 12 months, distributions totaled $27.268 per share and produced a 162.21% trailing yield. The recent average was 35.4% higher than the preceding average, although the latest distribution was lower than the previous one. Payments have varied substantially, falling more often than rising across the full history.

In 2025, MSTY distributed $87.214 per share across 21 payments, averaging $4.153 per payment. The first year was abbreviated solely because payments began during it, so its annual total is not comparable with the later full year. The annual history therefore does not yet establish a comparable multiyear direction.

The distributions did not offset the decline in MSTY’s market price. Over 12 months, the price fell 77.9%, while distributions equaled 35.9% of the price from a year earlier. The approximate total return was negative 42%, indicating that substantial cash distributions coincided with a larger loss in market value.

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.
