According to BlockBeats, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated last Friday that the Trump administration has launched a mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchase plan. The aim is to align the purchase speed with the rate at which these bonds are being reduced from the Federal Reserve's balance sheet.
Bessent explained in an interview with Reuters that approximately $15 billion worth of bonds are being reduced monthly by the Federal Reserve. He noted that the idea is to match the Fed's actions, which have been moving in the opposite direction.
