HBO claims to have revealed Satoshi Nakamoto's identity in its upcoming documentary, Money Electric: the Bitcoin Mystery, directed by Cullen Hoback. This documentary, premiering Tuesday, aims to disclose the long-hidden identity of the Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Hoback previously gained recognition for exposing the identity of the QAnon conspiracy leader, Ron Watkins. Historical attempts to uncover Satoshi's true identity have largely failed.

In 2014, journalist Leah McGrath Goodman controversially named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto as the Bitcoin creator, a claim he vehemently denied, which later faced significant backlash and was debunked by various media outlets. Following that, Craig Wright, an Australian businessman, made headlines by asserting his identity as Satoshi, but his claims have been met with skepticism and legal disputes.

While credible candidates such as Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and Wei Dai have been proposed in discussions about Nakamoto’s identity, all of them have denied these claims. Furthermore, speculation remains that ownership of the Bitcoin stash, currently valued at around $68 billion, potentially held by Satoshi, has led to various theories regarding whether it might remain forever a mystery.

Skepticism continues, especially after a UK court ruled against Wright's claims of being Nakamoto earlier this year, emphasizing the ongoing intrigue surrounding Satoshi's identity.
