It first exceeded $5 trillion on 3/27/20. It will likely be above $10 trillion by the end of the year.
How much of this is Treasury debt? The total of Treasury securities owned by the Fed is 3,634,386 million as of 4/8/20. The Treasury has $827 billion in its bank account at the Federal Reserve, probably the highest it has ever been. And it will all be spent within a few weeks.
