BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund pays monthly distributions. The newest one listed, $0.10 per share, is declared with an ex-date of December 11, 2026 and a pay date of December 22, 2026. The October and November 2026 distributions are also declared at $0.10. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $1.18 per share, a yield of about 13.28% at a share price of $8.92.
The amount has not changed in the table. All 20 distributions shown, with ex-dates from May 2025 to December 2026, are $0.10 per share, so the record shows no raises or reductions over that span. The table starts in May 2025, so it holds no complete calendar year to compare. The source gives a growth streak of one year, which it bases on calendar-year totals.
Ex-dates usually fall in the middle of the month, between the 13th and the 15th, and payment comes at the end of the same month. Two dates ran later: December 22, 2025 and January 20, 2026. If the pattern holds, the distribution after the declared December one would go ex-distribution in mid to late January 2027 and be paid at the end of January.
