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.
The film follows investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author William D. Cohan and private investigator Tyler Maroney of Quest Research & Investigations as they trace the origins of Bitcoin through rare interviews with key builders and voices in crypto, including Michael Saylor, Fred Ehrsam, Joseph Lubin, and Brian Brooks. Blending a careful, evidence-led investigation with a clear and accessible exploration of Bitcoin's history and philosophy, the film tracks Bitcoin's evolution from radical idea to global financial force.
Through intimate discussions with early adopters and architects of modern crypto, Cohan and Maroney illuminate not only the technology, but the human ideals that shaped its creation. Finding Satoshi invites both insiders and newcomers to discover the principles behind Bitcoin and the anonymous creator whose vision changed finance forever. Part investigative thriller and part human portrait, the film confidently identifies the person behind Bitcoin and the ideas that defined it.
