This log records changes that can affect a published figure or how a reader checks it. Editorial wording and visual-only changes are not listed.

19 July 2026

Fees readings embedded in articles and statistics now render from the production database on each request. A database fallback is labelled sample; prose no longer describes a fallback as live.
The Fees API now supplies an immutable snapshot URL for every latest reading.
Government Holdings totals carry ~ whenever an included row is estimated.
Fee-source labels now link directly to the primary API or protocol documentation used by the collector.
Stable row links were added to every Dead Coins and Government Holdings record, and the public API returns each record's URL.

Dead Coins expanded from 32 to 113 documented cases; every entry received an evidence URL.
Government Holdings stopped counting disputed claims and state-linked theft proceeds in its headline BTC total. Those rows remain visible and labelled.

Government Crypto Holdings launched with 12 countries, per-record sources, confidence labels and as-of dates.

Dataset-specific inclusion changes remain documented beside the method: Fees, Dead Coins, and Government Holdings.

Corrections that change a published fact are dated here with the corrected page. Contact details are on the press page.
