As-of 07:00 am UTC 05 Feb 2022, the total amount raised for HonkHonk Hodl is just under 150M sats (150,000,000 sats, or 1.5 BTC, an amount worth ~$62K, ad the current BTC/USD exchange rate).
There are a couple of charts available for each fundraising campaign on Tallycoin.
The first chart shows the split of payments: on-chain versus Lighting Network⚡:
-- The second chart shows donation over time, since the beginning of the campaign (which at this moment, has been less than four full days):

UPDATE:
They’ve since added a stealth edit on their post to say: “we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.”

Where the stealth edit was the insertion of the "chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers" part, which the original didn't have.

Bitcoin and the lightning network allow users to transact with each other directly without going through a 3rd party. Tallycoin is not a 3rd party to any donation and cannot censor peer-to-peer transactions. 🔥

It's time for @GoFundMe to pay.
  1. Chargebacks instead of asking politely for refunds.
  2. State lawsuits. Its violation of TOS claims are fraudulent.
  3. Civil lawsuits. File discovery to prove 'violent' protesters were affiliated with the #FreedomConvoy2022 group.
