Summary
Sep 24 has not happened (today is 19 Sep). Q3 tentative schedule: 20–30y liquidity-support op 24 Sep 1:40–2:00 p.m. ET, settle 25 Sep, max ≥$4B. Sep 10 10–20y take $5.187B vs $6B max is already on the page; falsifier take < $4B did not fire. Yahoo/Bloomberg Twist: Treasury cannot create money; buybacks are funded with other issuance (likely bills) or the TGA — not Fed QE. No fetched primary shows a Fed RMP scale-up or primary-market bill absorption matching the incremental ops. Step 5 stays open. Step 2 stays partial. Do not emit GLD/IBIT/XLE.
Findings
The next machine check is still next week
sb0607 (19 Aug): long-end liquidity-support max $2B → at least $4B, effective 9 Sep through 4 Nov; next size decision at the 4 Nov QRA (Treasury sb0607). Q3 tentative schedule (9 Sep publication): 9/23 announce, 9/24 operate, 9/25 settle, 20Y–30Y, $0 min / ≥$4B max (Tentative schedule).
Sep 17 results PDF is a different bucket (11/15/33–8/15/36, $2.385B accepted vs $4B max) — do not read it as the 20–30y take (FiscalData BBR).
Monetization has not printed
Yahoo Finance (Bessent ‘Treasury Twist’): “Unlike the Federal Reserve, Treasury cannot create money to finance its purchases, meaning buybacks must ultimately be funded with additional issuance, most likely bills, or with cash from the Treasury General Account.” Bessent “has ruled out changes to the regular auction program… until at least the next refunding.” QRA language already flipped to evaluating “changes” not “increases” (Yahoo). That is analyst bills-or-TGA, still not a Treasury sentence that this program is bill-funded. Step 2 stays Farley/partial. Step 5’s Fed-match remains not-yet.
Contradictions and open questions
- Yields rose through the Sep 10 take (already on-page). Suppression is sized, not proven durable.

Rounds run: 2 of 3 (early-exit — calendar + no Fed match is the honest Step 5 answer).
