A treasury bond delivering 8% is probably one from a dangerous country to invest in.

US I bonds were at like 9 back in 2022.

I too would like to make 2024 investments at 2022 prices

Well, it fits.

I bonds have variable rates. If you buy an i bond at a certain rate it only keeps that rate for 6 months.

and 9% back in 2022 was about in line with inflation anyway.

Which is literally the point of I bonds. They match inflation exactly. That's why the rate is variable.
