WikiLeaks Marks 15 Years of Bitcoin Adoption at $63,712

On June 14, 2026, two articles commemorate the 15th anniversary of WikiLeaks adopting Bitcoin donations. The milestone follows the 2011 financial blockade by Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Bank of America, and Western Union that slashed WikiLeaks revenue by 95%. Bitcoin served as the censorship-resistant alternative, marking its first major real-world stress test and accelerating early crypto adoption by platforms like WordPress. Market impact remains narrative-driven, with Bitcoin trading at $63,712.7, down 0.87%.
