Overseas holdings climbed more than $83 billion from July to $9.33 trillion, Bloomberg reported. The data reflect valuation changes as well as net purchases and sales, and the Bloomberg US Treasury index advanced 0.3% in August, according to the report.

Japan, the biggest foreign holder, saw its holdings fall $36 billion to $1.1 trillion, the lowest since December 2024, the report said, adding that Mainland China's holdings also fell, while the UK's rose above $1 trillion for the first time.

Japanese officials were intervening in the foreign-exchange market over the summer to buy yen as the currency slumped to its weakest in four decades against the dollar, according to the report.
