WikiLeaks' bitcoin donation address

1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v

WikiLeaks began taking bitcoin donations at this address in June 2011, after payment processors cut it off, and listed it on its donation page for years. It has received more than 26,000 payments since; nearly all were spent on, and a fraction of a bitcoin remains. The page now shows a newer address.
