Is the live U.S. debt number an official measurement?

No. The moving headline is a clearly labeled model anchored to the latest official Treasury close and extended using the trailing 30-day rate of change. The official Treasury figure is displayed separately.

How often does the U.S. Treasury publish national debt data?

The U.S. Treasury Debt to the Penny dataset publishes an official closing value on business days. US Watchtower checks for new records every 30 seconds.

What is gross federal debt?

Gross federal debt combines debt held by the public with Treasury securities held by federal trust funds and other government accounts.

What sources does US Watchtower use?

Current debt figures come from the U.S. Treasury Debt to the Penny dataset. Budget figures and long-term projections come from the Congressional Budget Office baseline.
