The U.S. Treasury’s Daily Treasury Statement (DTS) provides a detailed look into the government’s financial operations. This dataset, which includes daily cash and debt transactions, reveals that the Treasury manages an operating cash balance, handles deposits and withdrawals, and oversees public debt transactions. On February 28, 2025, the last reported day, the Treasury’s activities included federal tax deposits, income tax refunds issued through checks and electronic funds transfers (EFT), short-term cash investments, and the issuance and redemption of securities. All figures in the DTS are rounded to the nearest million, offering a clear snapshot of the government’s financial health. The DTS is a crucial tool for understanding the flow of government funds, with transactions amounting to billions of dollars daily.
