The Fed buy all its buying and loaning has increased the money supply. Buy selling its own debt, it would be reducing the money supply it would seem to control and lower from this large increase it has been required to do. It usually would sell treasuries from its holdings but as you have pointed out , it doesn't have any left because it has loaned them all out on it facility transactions. So I see this as a way to correct for all the buying and loaning which has increased the money supply. JMHO. Rich
