What is a Dividend Date
When we talk about a dividend date, we’re referring specifically to the ex-dividend date.
This is the date on which all stockholders will earn a dividend. Technically, a person needs to be the owner of a share of stock as of the night before the ex-dividend date in order to earn the dividend.
The ex-dividend date is different than the date when the dividend is issued. Although you earn a dividend on the ex-dividend date, that dividend is typically not disbursed to your account until several weeks later.
Most brokerages will automatically credit the dividend to your account once it’s issued.

More About Blackstone Secured Lending Fund
Blackstone Secured Lending Fund is business development company and a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 26, 2018, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment Fund. On October 26, 2018, the fund elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In addition, the Fund elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a regulated investment company ("RIC"), as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The fund also intends to continue to comply with the requirements prescribed by the Code in order to maintain tax treatment as a RIC. The fund's investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through originated loans, equity and other securities, including syndicated loans, of private U.S. companies, specifically small and middle market companies, typically in the form of first lien senior secured and unitranche loans (including first out/last out loans), and to a lesser extent, second lien, third lien, unsecured and subordinated loans and other debt and equity securities.
Owning Blackstone Secured Lending Fund Stock on the Dividend Date

Theoretically, the price of Blackstone Secured Lending Fund stock should go down by the amount of the dividend (in addition to any other pressures that market forces have on the price of Blackstone Secured Lending Fund stock).
Therefore, it is typically not expected that there is any incremental profit to be gained from buying Blackstone Secured Lending Fund stock right before the ex-dividend date and then selling it immediately after. It’s not like you get the Blackstone Secured Lending Fund dividend payout for free just by doing that since there is typically an equivalent commensurate drop in the stock price.
