The Litecoin Foundation has been sustaining itself through a sizable donation from Litecoin founder, Charlie Lee
Lee donated approximately $468,000 worth of Litecoin back in December 2017, which makes up over 80% of the Foundation’s total donations since June 2017
Waning interest has caused merchandise sales to dip below $300 for 1Q19 while total donations have largely been under $1,000 a month
As a result, the Foundation has depleted 75% of its cryptocurrency reserves since 2Q18 to pay operating expenses, leaving it with a remaining balance of $96,400 as of 1Q19
