Monthly yield distribution and the eligibility window
How It Works
BUCK yield is distributed automatically each month. On the 15th of each month, the protocol takes a snapshot during U.S. market hours to determine eligible holders. Yield is then distributed in BUCK on the first business day of the month following STRC dividend payment — no action required.
Eligibility Window
When: 15th of each month, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Eastern Time
Who: All BUCK holders with a qualifying balance

Why market hours?
Aligns with STRC trading on NASDAQ
Why 9 AM - 4 PM ET?
STRC trades on NASDAQ during U.S. market hours. The eligibility window aligns with these hours so that STRC pricing is live and accurate during distribution. This ensures fair, real-time valuation of the protocol's collateral.
