I guess this guy believes it is a bubble and this is his cover for getting out while the price is high.

Wants to crystalize his gains. Gonna be a big tax bill.

How much did he make?

Wild guess - he sold some litecoins and donated others.

I agree you could read that as sold all of them and donated the proceeds. Needs clarification.
