The new documentary reveals recent clues about the token's unidentified inventor.
The film explores if Len Sassaman could be the person behind the unknown founder.
The documentary raises intriguing debates that could change the character of BTC.
The goal of HBO's most recent screenplay, Money Electric: The Bitcoin Autonomity, is to shed light on Satoshi Nakamoto, the person who created Bitcoin. Directed by Cullen Hoback, it releases on October 8 and has captured the attention of the digital asset world. Nakamoto launched BTC in 2008 but remained unidentified, fueling speculation about who is behind the fake name.
Len Sassaman as a Possible Candidate
The report suggests that Len Sassaman, a cryptographer and privacy advocate, may be the real Nakamoto. Sassaman contributed to the development of relay technology, which led to Bitcoin's decentralized system. Besides, he had strong ties to Hal Finney, who was the first to receive a Bitcoin transaction from Nakamoto, giving weight to this theory.

Additionally, a memorial for Sassaman is encoded in Bitcoin’s blockchain. This fact has caused more people to speculate that he might be the maker. However, without any direct proof, like Nakamoto moving the currency from a known account, the debate continues. Still up for debate is whether Sassaman is actually Nakamoto or if there is more to the mystery.
Bitcoin's System and Limited Supply
The coin already operates as a peer-to-peer digital currency. It allows users to make cash transfers without using financial institutions or other intermediaries.
The token's circulation is fixed at 21 M coins, which means no more can ever be created. This makes it a rare and valuable possession. Nakamoto is believed to control roughly $60 billion worth of BTC, representing over 5% of the total coins. If it turns out that Sassaman was the creator and that his holdings are forever inaccessible, this could affect its valuation and reduce the circulating supply.
Timing and Stakeholder Concerns
The timing of this film has raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest. HBO's subsidiary business, Warner Bros. Discovery, has big shareholders including BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity, all of which are active participants in the BTC exchange-traded fund sector. Some speculate that these connections may influence the video's content and debut date.
