At least at the moment, it would seemingly make more sense to invest in 1-year treasury bonds. The interest rate is higher, they are more liquid, they are more convenient to buy and sell, and they are taxed the same as I-bonds. There's also no limit to the amount you can buy.

  If you expect interest rates to go down in the future, the 10 year bonds would be a better investment

  And what are you going to do with that money in one year. If you’ll need to invest it again the answer is not so obvious.
