Synopsis
At the center of Bitcoin lies the greatest unsolved mystery of the digital age. Who created it, and who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Finding Satoshi presents the conclusion reached after a four-year, evidence-based investigation, drawing on original reporting and rare access to key figures in crypto to uncover the human ideas, motivations, and philosophy behind the code that reshaped global finance.[5]
Background
Development
In 2022, Variety reported that a new documentary was in the works exploring the mysterious founder of Bitcoin and the larger state of cryptocurrency, with Matthew Miele attached to direct the project, titled “Finding Satoshi,” and Tucker Tooley producing. Bestselling author William D. Cohan was attached to interview experts on the topic, as well as executive produce with Greg Renker.[6]
While announcing the film Tooley said, “With Matthew at the helm and Bill’s investigative complexity and nuance added to the mix, we are thrilled to start the hunt for answers about Satoshi Nakamoto and examine the rise of perhaps the greatest challenge to our financial world order as we know it."[7]
Cohan added, "“I am thrilled and honored to be working with Tucker on this feature-length documentary film about cryptocurrency,” said Cohan. “The topic is both timely and important. With no agenda, or biases, or preconceived notions, the idea for the film is to interview a range of cryptocurrency experts — the zealots, the founders, the apostates, the regulators, the academics, the money men and women — who comprise this fascinating and mysterious new world, with the sole purpose of trying to inform and to delight as wide an audience as possible.”[8]
