HARIKRISHNAN_P_K unfortunately there is no API available to migrate one to one and group chats of Teams from one tenant to another. There are indeed some vendors who "migrate" the data, but it will end up in screenshots, text files, or just for ediscovery purposes. You can't - as you already mentioned - write data to channels is possible.
What I'm doing today is, if people need the chat data: you can export the chat files via ediscovery search. Either a single PST per user or all chat files within a single PST. The first option is recommended, as you can easily import the PST file with the chats into the mailbox. But this isn't very user-friendly of course.
