Do you have to be a US citizen to purchase these?

  No but you need a social security number and to be a US resident

    Can a Delaware C-Corp buy them?

      Only if it has a social security number and is a US resident. (Ie, no since c-corps don’t have socials)

        You need a TIN (tax identification number) not SSN. C-corps, LLCs and anything else with a TIN can purchase these bonds directly from the fed.

  [you may purchase] if you have a Social Security Number and meet any one of these three conditions: - United States citizen, whether you live in the U.S. or abroad - United States resident - Civilian employee of the United States, no matter where you live https://treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds/res_ibonds_ibuy.htm#who https://treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds/res...

    Doesn't work if you live abroad. Certification is only possible in the US.

    I wonder if an ITIN would suffice.
