Monthly Treasury International Capital (TIC) major-foreign-holders intelligence (keyless official tab-delimited files): end-of-month foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes in billions of dollars for the 20 largest holder countries — Japan, United Kingdom, China (Mainland), Belgium, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Canada, Ireland, France, Taiwan, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Norway, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, UAE, Bermuda — 2000-03 onward, with 1- and 12-month changes and each holder's share of total foreign holdings. Carries 1/12-month change in $B and percent, share of the foreign total, and deterministic row hashes. Upstream gaps (a holder not yet/nolonger published for a month) are kept as nulls, never imputed. Data caveat (Treasury's own footnote): holdings are reported by U.S. custodians and may not attribute overseas custody accounts to the actual owners. Who joins this: rates/FX desks join sovereign-flow positioning on year_month + country_code; macro models use China/Japan 12-month changes as de-dollarization features; risk teams watch share_of_foreign_total_pct concentration.
