BlockBeats News, June 26th. The artificial intelligence boom has led to an explosive growth in foreign investment in the United States: In the 12 months ending in April 2026, net capital inflows to the U.S. surged to a record $840 billion, with both individual investors and official institutions significantly increasing their purchases of U.S. assets. Since early 2025, foreign capital inflows to the U.S. have nearly tripled, compared to a peak of around $400 billion in 2021, which was less than half of the current level.

In April, total purchases of U.S. equities by individual investors soared to $7.63 trillion, reaching a historic high. Official institutions' purchases hit a record $121 billion, more than doubling from the beginning of the year. The global demand for U.S. assets is unprecedented.
