Each holdings source retains its own reporting period. Source figures in billions are converted to dollars.

Annual illustration = holdings × 3.518%. Today, week, month and YTD apply that fixed annual illustration to elapsed UTC seconds divided by the number of seconds in the current calendar year. Week begins Monday. The Reported period view shows holdings, not an interest total. The earliest current cutoff is 2026-12-27. Each holder freezes when its own source window or the rate window expires: 120 days after a foreign reporting month, 180 days after a domestic quarter, and 120 days after the rate record. Refreshing a page does not extend those windows.

The common rate is a benchmark, not a holder-specific coupon or yield. Holdings can be at market value, while Treasury’s rate measures its debt cost. Security mix, discounts, inflation adjustments and payment schedules differ. TIC includes some nonmarketable securities; the domestic table covers marketable securities. The foreign and domestic snapshots have different dates and valuation methods. No combined recipient total is presented.

Budget net interest reflects interest expenses and offsets. It is not a pot that can be assigned to these holders in proportion to their balances. Countries are not necessarily the governments receiving the money. U.S. investors exclude the Federal Reserve to avoid overlap. The 20 named foreign locations and Other foreign holders are separate groups.
