Even if Snowden was primarily motivated by whistleblower's conscience, he almost certainly stole more meaningful secrets in the process as a bargaining chip. A perhaps more likely possibility is that he released the information on the spy programs as an ego-stroking coverup, since anybody calling a whistleblower a spy clearly has an agenda 100% about avenging their revealed secrets, not dealing with an actual foreign agent.

Given Snowden's declining relevance, it's also not impossible he originated the rumor to stroke his ego since he gets to be the embattled hero again. We'll only ever know if Putin really does hand over Snowden.
