no, there is no money printing. The dollars that buy US treasuries already exist, the Federal Reserve then swap those treasuries for bank reserves
Notice I say bank reserves, not money, dollars, currency but bank reserves which can't be spent only lent against so aren't money
Banks are tightening loaning standards (check the h8 data) , low yields = tight money. There's not enough money circulating nor enough good collateral in the repo market
Please look into all this and don't perpetuate the money printing inflation myth
