Treasury Expands Long-Term Securities Buyback Program

September 3, 2026

On August 19, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that it will at least double the maximum size of its liquidity-support buybacks for longer-dated Treasury securities, increasing the cap from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation for securities in the 10- to 20-year and 20- to 30-year maturity sectors.

The expanded buybacks will begin September 9 and remain in effect through November 4, the end of the current quarterly refunding period.

Treasury said the increase is intended to provide additional liquidity support in longer-dated Treasury markets and reflects strong participation in its existing buyback operations.

Because Treasury yields are an important benchmark for borrowing costs throughout the capital markets, including commercial real estate finance, ICSC will continue to monitor the program and its potential market impacts.
