“There are some things people shouldn’t worry about,” he said. “This is one.”

“Berkshire bought $10 billion in U.S. Treasurys last Monday. We bought $10 billion in Treasurys this Monday. And the only question for next Monday is whether we will buy $10 billion in 3-month or 6-month” T-bills, Buffett told CNBC.

Buffett did note that the concerns are valid though but not enough to change his views on U.S. Treasurys and the dollar

I'm not saying he's not right, but I would very much expect anyone with $20 billion+ in US Treasury bonds to say everything is fine with the Treasury.
