Latest News: WikiLeaks – the NPO founded by Julian Assange – has received over $2.2 million in donations in cryptocurrencies.
It was founded back in 2006 by Julian Paul Assange – an Australian activist, publisher, and editor. He was arrested in 2019 in London, facing a charge in the United States of conspiring to hack into a Pentagon computer network in 2010.
Since WikiLeaks is a non-profit organization, it’s sustained by the donations of individuals or entities who support their cause and operations. However, because they had published very sensitive information on a number of topics, plenty of providers have blocked payments to the organization. These include Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, and so forth.
This is why they’ve turned to the one form of currency that is impossible to censor – cryptocurrency.
WikiLeaks’ Crypto Donations
According to the official website of the organization, the currently available options for donating crypto to WikiLeaks include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, ZCash, Monero, and Ethereum.
