running total = holdings at Aug 2026 minus holdings at the end of the start month (includes price changes, not just buying or selling). Feb 2026 is Tom's 'since Feb' (all foreign −239B to July). treasury doesn't split each country's holdings into central bank vs private, so these are total holdings by country of custodian, not 'central bank' holdings.

europe = sum of UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Norway (the european countries listed in the table; germany, netherlands etc. fall into all other). British Virgin Islands isn't in the MFH table, and treasury's public tables carry only the current vintage of BVI holdings (slt_table3), with no first-reported values to compare, so the restatement can't be measured from treasury data. source: treasury TIC major foreign holders (slt_table5), Mar 2025 swiss figure from mfhhis01.
