Accounts controlled by the US government received $12.264 billion from the sale of oil and other resources in Venezuela between January and September 2026. Venezuelan authorities had to get Washington's approval to withdraw the funds, with withdrawals of $12.108 billion approved during that period.
$500 million in initial oil receipts went through a temporary account in Qatar, where only $50,000 remained at the end of September. The Venezuelan government paid KPMG $18.18 million to oversee the operations.
