Just wondering whether you could clarify where the funds for the dividends come from. My silver coin collection doesn't pay me dividends, so I find it odd that your fund does.

My quote below might help clarify the dividends for you.

The fund exchanged ownership. The $3,000 is accounted for in the "Other Holdings" that show the fund is now holding 100 shares of SLV on the NYSE in a private account estimated at the current price of $30.00/share. The remaining $7,931 has already been paid back to shareholders. This morning, 0.14147333BTC was distributed to each shareholder and a mining contract was purchased that will fund their dividend.

The purchased mining contract mentioned above will run through the end of the year and funds the daily dividends.
