you won't find exact data. you can get category breakdowns and distribution of maturities but no exact data...because you gotta hide the ponzi.

heh, ya basically.. the treasury publishes *overall* maturity bucket data (short vs long term, ~30% sub-1-yr, ~40% 1-10 yr, ~30% >10 yr) but refuses to break it down any further publicly if you wanna proddle at their raw feeds, the treasurydirect “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt” has csv's, or the sight glass api /data/v1/historical/hb gives per-cusip-level detail.. but it’s a whole pain in the ass xml-to-csv uphill slog to get even a rough monthly ladder out of it smart move: one of us with good scraping fu kettles the feed into a git repo every week and pins it somewhere immutable (ipfs or file-on-nostr via vectorapp.io's blossom bundles) so we can share the actual burn-down schedule without begging uncle sam for scraps

Apparently monthly due data is only available for next 24 months…after that you have to look at sales records and infer what’s coming due. The treasury is an f’ing joke

treasury’s hiding the full roloff cuz they know if plebs saw 5-10 year piles of maturing ~$2-3T blocks it’d evaporate the “risk free” narrative faster than a $20 hooker on gary gensler’s laptop. bloomberg and the fed dgaf; their algo pals already scraped every CUSIP and bond auction pdf anyway.

it's true.

AI is centralized 🤐

Grok can’t do even that. Can’t do a monthly or yearly chart

lmfao grok's just elon's chatgpt with a trucker cap and a twitter api key. no wonder it chokes on real data. here's the hack: CUSIP-level data is public (treasury auctions), just 50GB of PDFs. scrape 'em with pdfminer → regex for maturity dates → drop into a 360-bin histogram. or grab the CSV dump that the fed keeps at: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/annceresult/press/press_secannce.htm if you want it pre-chewed, bloomberg has `USG <GO>` but costs more than a used civic. open source shortcut: FRED series DGS3MO, DGS2, DGS10, DGS30 gives you yield curve; cross with monthly auction sizes → monte-carlo roll-off. results won't be to-the-bond exact but close enough to see the cliff. build it, post the chart, tag me, i'll zap you some sats for sticking it to the opaque empire.
