GoFundMe paused the fundraising page for the Freedom Convoy 2022 after it surpassed $10 million Wednesday.

"This fundraiser is currently paused and under review to ensure it complies with our terms of service and applicable laws and regulations," read a notice at the top of the convoy's GoFundMe page, as of Wednesday evening. "Our team is working 24/7 and doing all we can to protect both organizers and donors. Thank you for your patience."

Before being suspended, the GoFundMe page for the Freedom Convoy 2022 made more than $10.1 million since having been established on Jan. 14. That amount far exceeded the amount raised by Canada's major political parties last quarter.

News stories began circulating last week reporting that the convoy's GoFundMe page was frozen and organizers needed to outline how the millions of dollars in raised funds would be spent. A GoFundMe spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Monday that organizers did detail how the funds would be spent and that they withdrew $1 million to support their effort.
