YieldMax Group D April 2026 Dividend Breakdown: MSFO, PLTY, JPMO & More
YieldMax Group D pays dividends during the fourth week of each month. It’s home to large-cap stalwarts like Microsoft (MSFO), Disney (DISO), and JPMorgan (JPMO), making it the most conservative corner of the YieldMax universe. While yields tend to be lower, the stability of the underlying assets offers a meaningful tradeoff.
In this post, I’m covering the April 2026 Group D dividend schedule and per-ETF payouts, along with investment strategies for this unique group.
Group D Lineup
Group D mixes blue-chip stability with select high-growth names:
| # | Ticker | Underlying | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MSFO | MSFT | Microsoft Covered Call |
| 2 | DISO | DIS | Disney Covered Call |
| 3 | JPMO | JPM | JPMorgan Chase Covered Call |
| 4 | AMDO | AMD | AMD Covered Call (Group D) |
| 5 | BITO | — | Bitcoin Futures ETF Covered Call |
| 6 | GDXY | GDX | Gold Miners ETF Covered Call |
| 7 | LFGY | — | Large-Cap Growth Basket Covered Call |
| 8 | SNPY | SNAP | Snap Covered Call |
| 9 | UBER | UBER | Uber Covered Call |
| 10 | PLTY | PLTR | Palantir Covered Call |
Note: Group D composition may change at the fund manager’s discretion. Check the official YieldMax website for current groupings.
What’s interesting about Group D is the mix of stable blue chips (Microsoft, JPMorgan) and high-volatility growth names (Palantir, Snap). This creates a wide spread in per-ETF yields within the same group.

Key ETF Deep Dives
MSFO (Microsoft Option Income ETF)
MSFO is Group D’s flagship. Microsoft is a global titan with diversified revenue from Azure cloud, AI Copilot, Office 365, and gaming. Its AAA credit rating and ~$3 trillion market cap make it one of the most stable underlying assets in the entire YieldMax lineup.
The ~18% annualized yield is low by covered call standards, but that’s the tradeoff for stability. NAV erosion tends to be gentle, and Microsoft’s own quarterly dividend ($0.83/share) supplements the MSFO income stream.
Best for: Conservative investors prioritizing capital preservation alongside steady income.
JPMO (JPMorgan Option Income ETF)
JPMO is built on America’s largest bank. Financial stocks are traditionally low-volatility, which keeps premiums and yields modest. At ~14% annualized, it’s one of the lowest yields in the YieldMax universe.
But here’s the angle: JPMorgan itself yields over 4% annually. Combining JPMO’s option income with JPM’s regular dividend creates a respectable total income package.
Watch for: Interest rate cycle shifts that affect bank profitability.
PLTY (Palantir Option Income ETF)
PLTY is Group D’s wild card. Palantir’s AI-driven data analytics business has produced massive stock price volatility, generating ~66% annualized yields. That’s Group A-level performance in a Group D wrapper.
Risk warning: Palantir trades at 80x+ earnings. High valuations mean the stock can drop sharply on any negative catalyst. Size this position carefully.
DISO (Disney Option Income ETF)
Disney’s streaming recovery (Disney+) and theme park strength have supported a stable stock price through early 2026. The ~33% annualized yield represents a solid middle ground in Group D.
BITO (Bitcoin Futures Option Income ETF)
The crypto play in Group D. Nearly ~5% monthly yield from Bitcoin’s legendary volatility, but you’re taking direct exposure to crypto price risk. If Bitcoin drops 10%, expect a similar NAV hit.
3-Month Dividend Trend
| Ticker | Feb Div | Mar Div | Apr Div | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSFO | $0.33 | $0.34 | $0.35 | Steady rise |
| DISO | $0.38 | $0.40 | $0.42 | Rising |
| JPMO | $0.30 | $0.29 | $0.28 | Slight decline |
| PLTY | $0.82 | $0.80 | $0.78 | Slight decline |
| BITO | $0.85 | $0.90 | $0.92 | Rising |
| UBER | $0.45 | $0.47 | $0.48 | Slight rise |
Overall, Group D dividends are showing stable trends. MSFO, DISO, and UBER are on mild upswings, while JPMO and PLTY have drifted slightly lower. BITO benefits from an active crypto market, posting three consecutive months of increases.
Group D vs Other Groups
For those weighing Group D against the alternatives:
| Factor | Group A | Group B | Group D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payout Timing | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 4 |
| Average Yield | High (~40%) | High (~45%) | Moderate (~30%) |
| Underlying Volatility | High | High | Medium~High |
| NAV Stability | Low | Low | Relatively High |
| Key Tickers | TSLY, CONY | NVDY, MSTY | MSFO, JPMO |
| Best For | Aggressive | Aggressive | Balanced~Conservative |
Group D trades lower yields for stronger NAV resilience. During market downturns, this defensive quality shines — blue-chip Group D holdings tend to hold up better than high-beta Group A or B names.
Group D Portfolio Strategies
Strategy 1: Stability-Focused
Build around MSFO, JPMO, and DISO for steady, predictable income:
| ETF | Allocation | Investment ($10,000) | Est. Monthly Div |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFO | 40% | $4,000 | ~$59 |
| JPMO | 30% | $3,000 | ~$34 |
| DISO | 30% | $3,000 | ~$83 |
| Total | 100% | $10,000 | ~$176 |
Monthly $176, annual ~$2,112 pre-tax. That’s roughly ~21% annualized — conservative for covered call ETFs, but reasonable when you factor in NAV preservation.
Strategy 2: Barbell Approach
Mix stable names with higher-yield picks for a balanced outcome:
| ETF | Allocation | Role |
|---|---|---|
| MSFO | 35% | Stable income |
| JPMO | 25% | Stable income |
| PLTY | 20% | High-yield growth |
| BITO | 10% | High-yield crypto |
| UBER | 10% | Mid-range income |
This blend targets ~30% annualized while keeping high-risk exposure below 40% of the total allocation.
Important Reminders
-
“Group D” doesn’t mean “safe”: NAV stability is relative. The covered call structure still caps upside and exposes you to downside.
-
Earnings season alert: April-May is Q1 earnings season. Microsoft (late April), Disney (early May), and JPMorgan (mid-April) earnings can all move these ETFs significantly.
-
Volatility contraction risk: If market volatility drops, option premiums shrink and dividends follow. Keep an eye on VIX levels.
-
Currency risk: International investors should factor in USD exchange rate movements.

Final Thoughts
April 2026 Group D is maintaining its steady character. MSFO and JPMO deliver the reliability you’d expect from blue-chip underlyings, while PLTY and BITO add growth-oriented yield for those willing to accept more risk.
Group D is the most conservative choice in the YieldMax family. If your priority is stable cash flow and NAV preservation over maximum yield, this is your group. And of course, combining Group D with higher-yielding groups in a diversified relay strategy gives you the best of both worlds.
