First off, shout out to gdett2 for mentioning this item in the thread title “The 2025 Weekly Dividend experiment”. The YieldMax ETFs are transitioning almost all their ETFs to a weekly distribution model.
For me, this means a YieldMax ETF that was paying on a monthly frequency i.e. YieldMax NVDA Option Income strategy ETF (NVDY), will have the payouts stretched across the month. NVDY used to pay on the second Friday of the month, which for Oct 2025 was last week. I think the timing means I will receive four NVDY payments this month. For many of the other YieldMax ETFs, it will be three payouts for Oct 2025.

Ok, the NVDY event happened today.
I have to acknowledge it is an adjustment that an ETF owner has to get accustomed. I recall when it occurred with YMAG last year. Mind goes “wait - something happened?” Sure, the payout was variable even when YMAG was monthly. But somehow, at least initially, something triggered, and momentarily, I’m puzzled. Then, the mind connects to the data-point, “Oh yes, the ETF has shifted to a weekly payout.” It might occur again the following week. Then maybe the third week a little too. Then, the brain adjusts. AI calls its version “machine learning”. I guess, for me, this is “human learning”. The brain is an amazing thing
