It highlights the key holders of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and their respective investment rationales. Group 1: Who Holds Long-Term U.S. Treasuries? - Foreign investors are the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries, followed by the Federal Reserve. As of Q1 this year, total U.S. Treasury holdings amount to approximately $26.9 trillion, with foreign investors holding about $9 trillion, accounting for roughly 33% of the total [1][4][10]. - The Federal Reserve's holdings peaked at over 26% during the QE period in 2021 but have since decreased to about 14% due to ongoing balance sheet reduction [4][10]. - Post-pandemic, U.S. households and non-profit institutions, including hedge funds, have significantly increased their Treasury holdings, rising from around 3% in 2021 to the current 11% [4][5].

Group 3: Overseas Investors' Rationale for Buying Treasuries - Overseas investors view U.S. Treasuries as safe and stable investments, supported by the U.S. government's creditworthiness and the market's depth and breadth [22][24]. - Official foreign institutions hold Treasuries for foreign exchange reserve management and to ensure asset safety, as Treasuries are among the safest and most liquid assets globally [24][26]. - Some foreign official institutions, like Japan, have sold Treasuries to manage currency exchange rates, intervening in the market to stabilize their currencies [26][29]. - Non-official foreign investors may purchase Treasuries to hedge against currency risks, often using cross-currency swaps to manage their exposure [29].
