While everyone is busy watching crypto pumps and U.S. election noise, something big is happening quietly in Tokyo.
Japan is now the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt for the ninth straight month. The latest data shows Japanese investors and state institutions have increased their holdings to more than 1.18 trillion dollars.
💣 Why does this matter?
Because through 2024 and 2025, many expected Japan to start reducing its exposure to U.S. debt. Instead, the opposite happened. Japan kept buying while other countries stayed cautious.
💥 The part most people missed:
Earlier this year, a few Japanese banks sold some foreign bonds, which created rumors that “Japan is exiting U.S. debt.”
But the government didn’t sell. The core position kept rising, not falling.
📌 What this means globally
The U.S. gets a reliable buyer for its debt.
The dollar stays stronger than expected.
And this scale of buying can influence interest rates across the world. Markets may look calm, but the pressure is real.
⚡ Bottom line
Japan isn’t triggering any U.S. debt crisis. If anything, it’s doing the opposite. One of the world’s biggest financial powers is increasing its bet on U.S. Treasuries, and that’s a signal the market cannot ignore.
