This web site tracks the live balance of the BTG Endowment. Live balances, per wallet, are pulled using the Insight API at https://explorer.bitcoingold.org/insight/. The Live Unspent Total may take a moment to load as all wallet balances must be pulled, first.
Bitcoin Gold (codename BTCGPU) began as a fork of Bitcoin after block height 491406 on Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:17:35 GMT and began being mined as a separate chain at block height 491407 on Sun, 12 Nov 2017 13:34:01 GMT. The mining rewards from the first 8000 new blocks, 100,000 BTG total, were collected into a set of wallet addresses to form a fund to support the ongoing costs of the Bitcoin Gold project. These 100,000 coins, sometimes called a "premine," made up the BTG Endowment. All mining rewards after these first 8000 blocks accrue solely to the miners; no portion is diverted to the founders or the project.
All of these wallets are "four of six" multi-sig wallets, with the six keys originally held by the six co-founders of the BTG project. This means four signatures are required to move funds, and no single person can access the Endowment. In addition, 60% of the funds were in time-locked wallet addresses which would gradually become available over the course of three years.
All fund expenditures have been made based on the decisions of the Board of the Bitcoin Gold organization; the original Board was comprised of the six co-founders of the project.
To simplify administration, funds are periodically moved from an Endowment wallet into a "Flex Spending" wallet which requires 2 of 6 signatures. Expense reimbursements, salaries, and bounties are then paid from the Flex wallet. Any funds in the Flex wallet are unspent and belong to the Endowment.

These were mined into four wallets, “round robin” style:
| block | address |
|---|---|
| 491407 | Address 1 |
| 491408 | Address 2 |
| 491409 | Address 3 |
| 491410 | Address 4 |
| 491411 | Address 1 |
| 491412 | Address 2 |
| 491413 | Address 3 |
| 491414 | Address 4 |
| 491415 | Address 1… |
… and so on for 3200 blocks. At 800 blocks per wallet, these wallets accumulated 800 * 12.5 = 10,000 BTG each. The wallet addresses are listed below, and are also visible when looking at those block numbers in any BTG blockchain explorer.
The remaining blocks were divided into roughly 36 segments to unlock monthly over the course of three years. (Dividing 4800 into 36 would actually be 133.33 blocks per segment; instead, 36 segments of 133 blocks were created and a 37th segment with the remaining 12 blocks.)
Each segment was mined round-robin into four wallet addresses, much like the earlier blocks.
Example:
| block | address |
|---|---|
| 494607 | Address 5 |
| 494608 | Address 6 |
| 494609 | Address 7 |
| 494610 | Address 8 |
| 494611 | Address 5 |
| 494612 | Address 6 |
| 494613 | Address 7 |
| 494614 | Address 8 |
| 494615 | Address 5… |
During the first 132 blocks of the segment, each address received 33 block rewards of 12.5 BTG, so each received 412.5 BTG. Then, for the 133rd block, the first address received an additional 12.5, bringing the total to 425 BTG in the first wallet.
The total BTG for the segment is 425 + 412.5 + 412.5 + 412.5 = 1,662.5 BTG.
After these 133 blocks were done, mining advanced to the next segment, which did the same procedure into four new wallet addresses which were time-locked for an additional month.
Again, all the addresses in question are 4/6 multi-sig and require four signatures to withdraw funds, in addition to the time locks.
The wallet details above have been public on the blockchain since November 12, 2017. The mining process is in code that was published in the BTG Github on November 12, 2017: https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/tree/0.15.0.1
