I dislike the term “earn the dividend”, which you don’t. Funds accrue income daily. This is reflected in the NAV.The BND ETF declares dividends monthly, so you only earn the dividend if you own shares on the record date (once a month, usually at the end).
Funds may choose to declare dividends daily, monthly, or whatever. The sole purpose of dividends is to create 1099s.
