The U.S. Governor at the Bank may vote to raise the Bank’s shares in two ways. One is a selective increase of 230,374 shares, and the United States may subscribe to 38,459 of those shares, but the U.S. can only buy them if Congress provides the money ahead of time. The other is a general increase of 484,102 shares, and the United States may subscribe to 81,074 of those, again only if Congress approves the funds in advance. To pay for the 81,074 shares, up to $9,780,361,991 can be provided, without a time limit, for the Treasury Secretary to pay: $586,821,720 for paid‑in shares and $9,193,540,271 for callable shares. To pay for the 38,459 shares, up to $4,639,501,466 can be provided for the Treasury Secretary: $278,370,088 for paid‑in shares and $4,361,131,378 for callable shares.
