Future of Life Institute (FLI) — Revenue: $550M

NoteThe source directly confirms the exact revenue figure for FLI as of 2021. The ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer page shows under 'Fiscal Year Ending Dec. 2021' the extracted financial data stating 'Revenue $549,531,672'. This matches precisely with the claim's exact stored value of 549,531,672 (displayed as ~$549.53 million or ~$0.5B). The source is the official IRS Form 990 filing data for the correct organization and correct fiscal year. The claim's additional context about the spike from Vitalik Buterin's SHIB token donation is consistent with the large contributions shown ($670,530,459) and the negative sales of assets (-$123,558,439) in that year, which would reflect the volatile nature of cryptocurrency donations.
