MSST vs MTYY

MSSTBYieldMax MSTR Performance & Distribution Target 25 ETF

MTYYDGraniteShares YieldBOOST MSTR ETF

In short

MSST YieldMax's second act on MSTR: instead of squeezing out the biggest possible payout, MSST aims at a set 25% annual distribution rate and sells call spreads, deliberately leaving room to participate in Strategy's share price.

MTYY Most MSTR income funds write options on the stock. MTYY reaches one level higher, selling puts tied to a 2x leveraged MSTR ETF, so the premium it harvests is priced off doubled swings. Payouts monthly, risk to match.

Stated mandate

MSST MSST is actively managed to provide weekly income and potential capital appreciation through synthetic exposure to Strategy Inc (MSTR), using long calls, short puts, and call spreads.

MTYY The fund seeks to generate income through options strategies, primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs tracking the 2x Long MSTR Daily ETF.

Why people hold it

• MSST The dial is set, not maxed. MSST targets a 25% annualized distribution rate rather than harvesting every premium available, and uses call spreads on a synthetic MSTR position to keep some upside participation in play.yieldmaxetfs.com
• Income arrives on a weekly schedule, one of the fastest cadences in the single-stock options-income world.globenewswire.com
• At 0.99%, the fee sits a touch under the MSTR income crowd, including stablemate MSTY (1.03%) and GraniteShares' MTYY (1.07%).
• A cleaner mandate than the yield-chase version: the stated aim is weekly income plus potential capital appreciation, managed with a growth-aware approach rather than maximum premium capture.yieldmaxetfs.com

• MTYY The whole angle is leverage. It sells puts linked to a 2x long MSTR ETF, so the premium it collects is priced off double-amplified moves rather than MSTR's own.graniteshares.com
• Distributions run on a monthly cadence, so income arrives on a set calendar rather than in lumps.
• No MicroStrategy shares sit on the books. The exposure is built through options on a leveraged MSTR vehicle, an income route rather than a stock position.graniteshares.com

Worth knowing

• MSST The 25% is a target, not a promise. YieldMax states plainly it is not a guarantee and does not represent a 25% yield or total return; payouts hinge on what option premiums deliver.globenewswire.com
• One stock, held synthetically. The fund never owns MSTR shares; exposure comes from long calls and short puts, and the sold call spreads mean big rallies get captured in part, not in full.globenewswire.com
• Young and small. Launched in late 2025 as part of YieldMax's first Target 25 trio, it remains a lightly traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the older MSTR income names.etfgi.com

• MTYY The 1.07% fee sits at the top of the MSTR options-income shelf, where WNTR and MSTY run near 1%.
• Put selling caps the upside at the premium collected while the downside tracks a 2x MSTR vehicle. A sharp drop can outrun the income the strategy generates.graniteshares.com
• Launched in September 2025, it remains a small, thinly traded fund, which typically shows up as wider spreads at the moment you trade.
