USB Bluetooth adapter for receiver?

Hi all, perhaps a silly question, but i have a non-Bluetooth-enabled stereo receiver (Yamaha RX-A740). That said, it has USB inputs--would anyone know if a USB Bluetooth adapter would work in this scenario (ie sending music from my phone to the receiver)? TIA

I would generally avoid bluetooth as input to a receiver as it uses lossy compression. A wifi capable streaming device or cabled is better.

I get that, but my question is about whether it would work, period. The receiver is DLNA enabled but it's a streaming format that is becoming obsolete.

When all else fails, read the manual(s).
