Coming soon: A documentary called "Finding Satoshi"
• Release date: April 22, 2026
• Creators/presenters: Directors: Matthew Miele and Tucker Tooley. Lead investigative reporter: William D. Cohan (New York Times bestselling author). Working alongside him is private investigator Tyler Maroney (Quest Research & Investigations).
• What they promise: This is an evidence-based investigation into one of the biggest mysteries of the 21st century – who is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The film traces the origins of BTC through digital evidence, archives, correspondence, and interviews. They promise a "definitive answer" to the question of identity, although such claims are traditionally viewed with skepticism in the crypto community (there have been many "revelations" that were later debunked).
• Interviews: The film features rare conversations with key crypto market figures, including:
• Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy)
• Bill Gates (co-founder of Microsoft)
• Fred Ehrsam (Coinbase)
• Joseph Lubin (Ethereum)
• Brian Armstrong, and others.
• Running Time: Approximately 1 hour 41 minutes - 1 hour 45 minutes.
• Context: The film is released against the backdrop of a recent major New York Times article (April 2026) by journalist John Carreyrou, who, after watching the 2024 HBO documentary "Money Electric," conducted his own investigation and pointed to Adam Back (the creator of Hashcash) as the most likely Satoshi. Adam Back denies this. "Finding Satoshi" is a separate project, but it is clearly connected to this wave of interest.
The film is positioned as serious investigative journalism, not just entertainment content. Many in crypto are eagerly awaiting it, but skepticism is high—previous attempts (HBO, Newsweek, etc.) have not been confirmed.
