The film centers around Satoshi Nakamoto, an anonymous person or persons foundational to the creation of the cryptocurrency back in the late 2000s—and who purportedly still has control of the “genesis” Bitcoin wallet that now contains what is currently about $75 billion in crypto. The film investigates the lore surrounding the genesis wallet, the original Bitcoin address linked to the network’s inception, which is believed to be under Nakamoto’s control. Estimates place the wallet’s crypto at roughly $75 billion.
By tracing Nakamoto’s footprint from early code releases to persistent rumors of custody, the film raises questions about identity, responsibility, and the long-term security of digital wealth. The documentary delves into the enduring mystery of who holds the keys to Bitcoin’s birth and what that ownership means for the project and its community. The documentary also touches on market implications and the potential impact if the wallet’s holdings were ever moved, underlining the ongoing mystery at the heart of Bitcoin’s origins.
