The U.S. has become a net importer of bitcoin for the first time since 2022, with transfers exceeding $10 million driving this shift, according to Chainalysis data through June 2026. While retail investors tend to send bitcoin abroad, institutional investors bring it into the U.S. This trend highlights Americans' preference for bitcoin as a store of value, contrasting with the global use of USD-pegged stablecoins for dollar access.
