The maker of an HBO documentary to be aired next week hinted he may reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

The HBO documentary, “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” is made by Cullen Hoback, maker of the acclaimed HBO miniseries “Q: Into the Storm,” which claimed to have identified several authors of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

“A few of you might have wondered why I disappeared,” Hoback tweeted on Oct. 3 on X. “Well, I was tracking down someone else who disappeared. Curious who’s behind Bitcoin? #MoneyElectric: The Bitcoin Mystery drops next Tuesday. It’s going to be a rollercoaster. #Satoshi.”

Hoback and HBO said the upcoming documentary will air on Oct. 8 at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Will HBO Reveal The Identity Of Satoshi Nakamoto?

Hoback’s latest endeavor sees the filmmaker investigate the origins of Bitcoin, and the mystery behind its creator.

Nakamoto’s identity remains one of the biggest mysteries ever since Bitcoin gained traction in the market. On Oct. 31, 2008, the whitepaper for Bitcoin was published as an alternative to the current debt-driven financial system.

The creator then went offline in December 2010 after rallying support from a group of programmers via message boards and email.

Hoback stopped short of saying that he was actually able to determine the real-world identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. The documentary’s trailer also gives no clear indication that the creator’s identity will in fact be revealed.

Wallets From Satoshi Nakamoto Era Start To Move Funds

If the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is indeed revealed in the documentary, it could lead to significant ramifications. Perhaps most notably is that the Bitcoin creator might face criminal charges for all of the illegal activity that the leading crypto and its underlying blockchain technology has facilitated.

As the date for the documentary draws closer, several wallets from the Satoshi era have come alive after being dormant since 2010. In the last 2 weeks, wallets from this early stage moved around 250 BTC valued at approximately $15 million at current prices.
