First trading day of May. Yesterday (Apr 30): $980.85, +0.09%. Today $981.42, +0.06% — two up sessions in a row since Wednesday's dividend reset. The fees are flowing and the share price is doing what it's supposed to do. Dividend #7 trigger sits at $990 — $8.58 to go. Currently running at ~19% annualized.
Dividends are paid after corporate taxes and our 20% management fee. We're currently working on moving the corporation offshore, which will eliminate the corporate tax layer and increase net dividends going forward.

Our income comes from market-making fees — we provide liquidity to a major decentralized exchange and earn on every trade that crosses our quotes. We hedge our positions to stay neutral to price direction. Income fluctuates with how active the marketplace is, but it's not tied to interest rates, government debt, corporate defaults, or property values.

Even at our current ~19% pace — ~2x the best income fund on Wall Street, and ~5x a bank savings account. From a fundamentally different source.

What's Going in Our Favor

Into May. Up Two Days Running. The Grind Continues.

First trading day of May. Yesterday (Apr 30): $980.85, +0.09%. Today: $981.42, up +0.06%. Two up sessions in a row since Wednesday's dividend reset — a clean, quiet start to the new cycle. The fees are flowing. The share price is doing what it's supposed to do.

A Look Back at April: Two Dividends, $1,300 in Income on $100K.

April was the kind of month the strategy is built for. We paid two dividends — April 10 and April 29 — combining for $1,300 in income on a $100K position in a single month. The first half of the month grinded from $980 to $990; the second half did exactly the same. Both cycles took roughly three weeks. Fees compounded. Share price moved up. Dividend printed. Reset. Repeat.

For 2026 we're sitting at six dividends, $6,250 on $100K, ~19% annualized — and we're only four months in.

→ April delivered the fastest dividend pace of any month since launch.

The Strategy Doesn't Need a Bull Market. It Needs Activity.

The single most important thing about DeFi Income is also the simplest: we are not a directional bet. We don't need BTC to go up. We don't need stocks to go up. We don't need any asset to go up. We provide market-making liquidity, hedge our positions, and earn fees on every trade that crosses our quotes. Whether the broader market is climbing, falling, or chopping sideways, our income is a function of activity — not direction.

That's why a quiet, steady tape produces a quiet, steady grind higher in the share price — exactly what we're seeing right now in the new cycle. 28 dividends since launch. ~19% annualized in 2026. Hedged, not directional.

→ Hedged. Diversified. Volume-driven. Dividend #7 will come when it comes.

How DeFi Income Works

Think of it like running a stall at a busy marketplace. We post bids and offers on a major decentralized exchange. Every time a trader hits our quote, we collect a fee and hedge our inventory immediately so we stay neutral to price direction. We don't care whether any asset goes up or down — we care how many people are trading.

28 dividends. ~19% annualized pace. Hedged, not directional.
