"When deposit rates don't keep up with bond yields, it makes sense to turn to Treasury bills for their safety, liquidity, and higher return potential. Sophic enables everyone to get their money's worth from cash alternatives which have long been the prerogative of institutional investors."

Treasury bills, or T-Bills, are short-term financial instruments that governments issue, typically with a maturity (duration) of up to one year. They are a form of investment where you essentially lend money to the government (like a regular government bond), which in turn promises to pay you back on the day the bill matures.
Unlike regular bonds, Treasury bills do not pay interest every year. Instead, they are issued at a discount to their face value meaning you pay less to buy them today than what they will be worth at maturity, and the difference will be your profit.
Let's work through an example. The European Union issues a Treasury bill that matures in 1 year with a yield of 4%. This means that what you will receive back at maturity will be 4% more than what you will pay now. On issue day, you buy €1000 worth of the EU Treasury bill. A year later, upon maturity, the EU pays you back €1040 (your initial €1000 + 4%) so you've made €40 in profit.
When your Treasury bill matures, its life is over. The issuing government will pay you the full face value of the bond so you will receive cash in your Sophic account and your treasury bill will no longer appear in your investment list.
Due to their short-term maturity (up to 1-year) and because they are backed by the government of the issuer country, Treasury bills are widely considered as low-risk and secure investments.
However, if the government that has issued the Treasury bills defaults, you may get back part or none of your initial investment.
Moreover, if you sell your Treasury bills before their maturity, there could be a gain or loss depending on where their prices are trading at the time of the sale. In simple words, if sold early, the sale price of the Treasury bill could be lower than the original purchase price.
Yes you can, the Treasury bill is one of the most liquid markets in the world. If you decide to sell before maturity, your return will be proportional to the time you kept the bill, assuming short-term rates do not materially change.
For example if you buy a 1-year bill on issue day and sell it after 6 months, your return will be approximately half of the annual yield of the bill.
It's important to note that the price you will receive will depend on market conditions, and you may receive less than what you initially paid if interest rates have risen.
