Accounts controlled by the US received $12.264 billion from the sale of oil and other resources in Venezuela between January and September 2026, with Washington authorizing $12.108 billion in withdrawals by Venezuelan authorities, according to ABC ES.
Most of the funds were used by Venezuela's central bank to supply foreign currency to the economy through banks, auctions and electronic allocations, allowing businesses and individuals to purchase dollars using bolivars.
An initial $500 million in oil revenue was routed through a temporary account in Qatar, which held only $50,000 by the end of September.
