While interest rates and inflation can affect Treasury bill rates, they're generally considered a lower-risk (but lower-reward) investment than other debt securities. Treasury bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. If held to maturity, T-bills are considered virtually risk-free.
Are Treasury bills better than CDs?
Choosing between a CD and Treasuries depends on how long of a term you want. For terms of one to six months, as well as 10 years, rates are close enough that Treasuries are the better pick. For terms of one to five years, CDs are currently paying more, and it's a large enough difference to give them the edge.

T-bills may be a good investment depending on your situation and goals. T-bills can play a role in a diversified portfolio as a safe place to park cash that provides some returns while preserving liquidity and principal. However, they generally provide low returns compared to other fixed income products.
There are several ways to buy Treasuries. For many people, TreasuryDirect is a good option; however, retirement savers and investors who already have brokerage accounts are often better off buying bonds on the secondary market or with exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
When your T-bill matures, its life is over. The US government will pay you the full face value of the bond. In our example above, you'd simply see the bond disappear out of your brokerage account or IRA and be replaced with $1,000.
