The US Department of the Treasury publishes the deciding data in its Debt to the Penny dataset, and the deciding value is Total Public Debt Outstanding, in trillions of US dollars, for the last business day of federal fiscal year 2027; the federal fiscal year ends on the last day of September. The outcome is Yes if that total is above the value specified in the market question and No otherwise. The Treasury posts each business day's figure on the following business day, and the value becomes final at 4:00 PM CT when it publishes the Debt to the Penny figure for the last business day of that fiscal year. Early resolution does not apply, and if the Treasury delays the release, resolution waits until the data is published.
