The United States has approximately $9 trillion in debt maturing in 2026
The US government has about $9 trillion in debt maturing in 2026, primarily from a large issuance of five-year Treasury bonds during the 2021 pandemic. The Treasury issued bonds in 2021 with interest rates as low as 0.8%, and these bonds will be rolled over in 2026 at an interest rate of approximately 4.0%.
This means that the interest costs on these bonds will instantly increase fourfold. As a result, it is expected that by 2026, the interest expense on US Treasury bonds will surpass $1 trillion for the first time. To keep the government functioning normally, the US Treasury must issue nearly $11 trillion in new debt in 2026, including $1.7 trillion to cover deficit financing and $9.3 trillion to roll over maturing debt in 2026 and cover additional interest.
