Accounts controlled by the U.S. received $12.264 billion in Venezuelan oil and other resource sales between January and September 2026, with Washington approving $12.108 billion in withdrawals at the request of Venezuelan authorities, according to ABC ES. Most of the funds were used by Venezuela's central bank to pump foreign currency into the economy through banks, auctions and electronic allocations, allowing businesses and individuals to purchase dollars using bolivares. An initial amount of $500 million from oil revenues is routed through a temporary account in Qatar, where only $50,000 remained by the end of September.
