The largest was $1.29 in December 2019. It was followed by $0.80 in 2020, $0.84 in 2021, $0.58 in 2022 and $0.31 in 2023. No distribution is listed for 2024.

The 2025 amount is about 79% below the 2019 distribution and about 68% below the one paid in 2021. The source does not show a growth streak, and the gap in 2024 means the record is not a continuous yearly series. If the December pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in the second half of December 2026 and be paid within about a week.
