Treasury’s Daily Statement Put the TGA Closing Balance at $966.9 Billion on August 10

Published August 11, 2026 • Updated August 21, 2026

Treasury Fiscal Data’s Daily Treasury Statement reported a $966.851 billion Treasury General Account closing balance on August 10, following $30.086 billion in deposits and $17.348 billion in withdrawals reported in its Operating Cash Balance table.

CONFIRMED FACTS The U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data Daily Treasury Statement’s Operating Cash Balance table reported a Treasury General Account (TGA) closing balance of $966,851 million on August 10, 2026. The same table reported an opening balance of $954,113 million for that date. The table reported total TGA deposits of $30,086 million and total TGA withdrawals of $17,348 million on August 10. Deposits less withdrawals equal $12,738 million, which matches the reported increase from the opening balance to the closing balance. Treasury Fiscal Data describes the Operating Cash Balance table as representing the TGA balance and says its figures are rounded to the nearest million. ANALYSIS The August 10 entries show a one-day increase in the reported TGA balance. The reported deposits and withdrawals reconcile arithmetically to that day’s change in the table, but this daily cash-balance measure is distinct from total public debt outstanding and is not a measure of the federal budget deficit over a longer period. UNKNOWNS AND LIMITS The Daily Treasury Statement values used here are rounded to the nearest million and describe the August 10 observation only. The table does not, by itself, identify the individual transactions behind every deposit or withdrawal, establish the cause of the day’s balance change, or forecast future cash balances, debt, interest rates, or economic activity.
