Treasury bonds (T-bonds) are government debt securities issued by the federal government that have maturities greater than 10 years. T-bonds earn periodic interest until maturity, at which point the owner is also paid a par amount equal to the principal. Treasury bonds are part of the larger category of U.S. sovereign debt known collectively as treasuries, which are typically regarded as virtually risk-free since they are backed by the U.S. government’s ability to tax.
