2026 Aleut Settlement Trust Annual Distributions

Apr 07, 2026

On behalf of the Aleut Board of Directors, we are excited to announce a $10.00 per share distribution for 2026!

That’s $4.75 million total in distributions paid tax-free from Aleut’s Settlement Trust!

This distribution reflects Aleut’s strong financial performance and disciplined approach last year, enabling Aleut to deliver solid returns to our shareholders while continuing to reinvest in our subsidiaries. Aleut is strengthening long-term stability and supporting scalable growth.

That same discipline guides our long-term approach towards a $1 billion enterprise by 2033. We are focused on growth, with a plan to triple distributions by 2033. We’re taking deliberate steps today to invest in the Corporation so we can increase distributions sustainably in the years ahead, creating lasting generational impact.

Since Aleut’s first dividend payment in 1981, we have paid over $83 million to our shareholders.
