Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Bank of America and other U.S. financial institutions began to block donations to WikiLeaks in 2010 after the controversial site began publishing more than 250,000 U.S. State Department cables. Meanwhile they allowed donations to the KKK.

The Reykjavík District Court ruled that Valitor, which handles Visa and MasterCard payments in Iceland, was in the wrong when it prevented card holders from donating funds to the site. The court ruled that the block should be removed within 14 days or Valitor will be fined the equivalent of about $6,000 a day.

Thanks to Crypto Wikileaks could continue to receive donations.
Up to Dec 2021 the donated amount of Crypto was more than $2.2 million (without Monero).
It's untraceable how much XMR (Monero) the organization has received.
