SoFi's THTA ETF Declares 10% Monthly Distribution Amid Yield Strategy Push
Event summary
- SoFi's THTA ETF declared a $0.1299 monthly distribution per share, representing a 10% distribution rate as of May 13, 2026.
- The ETF's 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.98%, significantly lower than its distribution rate.
- THTA combines U.S. government securities with a credit spread option strategy to enhance yield.
- The ETF was launched in partnership with Tidal Investments LLC on November 15, 2023.
The big picture
SoFi's move highlights the growing competition among ETF providers to offer high-yield products in a low-interest-rate environment. The strategy of combining government securities with options reflects broader industry trends toward innovative income-generating vehicles. With THTA's relatively short track record, its ability to sustain distributions will be a key test of SoFi's yield-enhancement approach.
