On June 5, 2026, iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") declared that the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (the "Trust") will make its first cash distribution in an aggregate amount of $351,669.96 (the "Distribution") to Shareholders of record on June 8, 2026. The Distribution will be paid on June 9, 2026. Shares are expected to begin trading ex-dividend on June 8, 2026.

 

The Distribution represents the cash proceeds of the Staking Consideration received by the Trust from staking activity during the period beginning when the Trust’s ether became actively staked and earning rewards (i.e., May 4, 2026) through May 29, 2026, net of the Staking Fee.

 

 

The Trust intends to make cash distributions to Shareholders on a monthly but no less frequently than quarterly basis from the Staking Consideration received by the Trust from staking, net of the Staking Fee. Such distributions are subject to the Sponsor's approval and its continuing determination that such distributions are in the best interests of the Trust and its Shareholders. The amount of any distribution will depend on the amount of Staking Consideration received by the Trust, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and the Trust's operational and liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that the Trust will declare or pay distributions in any particular amount or at any particular frequency, or at all.

 

Information regarding the Trust’s distribution schedule, including expected distribution dates and related record dates, is available on the iShares product page for the Trust at www.ishares.com. Shareholders are advised to consult with their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Distribution and any future distributions.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended and supplemented from time to time by the Trust's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
