An anonymous Bitcoin whale has donated 8 BTC worth about $500,000 to cover the traveling costs of recently released Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The donation came after his wife, Stella Assange, and WikiLeaks called for financial assistance for the massive $520,000 flight costs.

According to his wife, Assange was flown via a chartered flight because he was banned from flying commercially. The Australian government was instrumental in the travel process, which cost $520,000, and he must pay it back. The Crowd Funder page shows that £389,883 has already been raised in fiat.
Who made Assange’s Bitcoin donation?
Crypto community members are speculating on the identity of the Bitcoin whale who donated to Assange. Controversial social media personality and former kickboxer Andrew Tate hinted that he might be the one by replying to the donation post on X with a gift box emoji. Notably, Tate had hailed Assange’s release, describing it as “a stroke of bright blue sky.” He added :
“Assange being free adds a burst of colour to the grey hellscape of injustice currently plaguing the world. A stroke of bright blue sky. Maybe, everything will turn around.”
