$39.389 trillion was the U.S. total public debt outstanding on July 1, down $73.09 billion from the June 30 record of $39.462 trillion, Treasury FiscalData showed.
Intragovernmental holdings drove most of the drop, falling to $7.711 trillion from $7.781 trillion, while debt held by the public edged down to $31.677 trillion from $31.681 trillion.
The decline followed a run-up late in June: total debt stood at $39.345 trillion on June 29, $39.337 trillion on June 26 and $39.311 trillion on June 25.
Even after the one-day pullback, the debt remains well above $39.195 trillion on June 1 and $38.967 trillion at the end of April, underscoring the broader upward trend in fiscal 2026.
