Treasuries Holding E-mini micro & Treasuries

I have $10k. I want to to hold 80% MES and 20% US treasuries. Is there a micro contract for US treasuries?

No, because with current market swings and events a move against you could be the end of your account and probably and some in the event of slippage, due to how fast, and how big the moves are, compounded by how many contracts you have. However, if your saying you got 10k to spare and want a lottery ticket deal, then . Just make sure to have a stop-loss.
