The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation carried $146,115,927,712 in budget authority as of June 30, 2026, the DRM3 federal spending instrument recorded - the last day of the third quarter of a fiscal year that runs October 2025 through September 2026.[^1]

The figure is a snapshot of authorized funding capacity, not a measure of what the agency has spent or committed. Whether that authority has been obligated, and at what pace, is not addressed by this reading; a full picture would require an obligations figure set against it.
