NoteThe source directly confirms the exact endowment figure of $665.8 million as of 2021, which matches the claim's exact stored value (665,800,000). The source also confirms Vitalik Buterin as the donor in July 2021. The claim's additional context about ~$500M being cashed out by March 2026 and transfer to a donor-advised fund is not addressed in the Wikipedia source, but the core claim about the $665.8M grant received as of 2021 is explicitly confirmed in the infobox.
