WikiLeaks donation address (currently published)

5°

this address's ancestry traces 5 degrees to the earliest coins

WikiLeaks currently publishes a native SegWit (bech32) Bitcoin address on its own donation page, alongside addresses for several other cryptocurrencies. It is a direct self-disclosure by the organisation rather than a third-party attribution. Its recorded activity is far smaller in transaction count than the 2011 address it succeeded.

What is and is not established. Sourced from WikiLeaks' own live donation page, so the attribution is a self-disclosure — the strongest class of evidence available for a donation address. However, self-published pages change: this reflects what the page showed on the date fetched, and a future visitor may see a different string. The era field is a guess based on the address format (bech32 addresses postdate 2017); the actual first-seen block was not verified this session. No link between this address and the 2011 address was established on-chain here, and none should be inferred.
