Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Head: Companies Could Soon Go Public

Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said Monday that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could go public by the end of the year.

Pulte wrote on X that the two government enterprises have been run like businesses under the Trump administration.

“Combined, Freddie and Fannie have over $7 trillion of assets on their balance sheets,” Pulte said. “We are focused on running them like a business and taking out costs so I don’t think there’s any limit to what they could be worth one day.”
