Block co-founder Jack Dorsey announced at the 'Bitcoin 2026' conference his support for the documentary 'The Six Billion Dollar Man' to be distributed through Bitcoin community channels. According to Foresight News, the film, directed by Eugene Jarecki, focuses on the U.S. government's pursuit of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Despite winning awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globe Awards, mainstream streaming platforms have refused to release it.

In 2011, WikiLeaks faced payment channel blockades from Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal, with Bitcoin serving as the sole unblocked payment method, which Dorsey considers one of Bitcoin's most significant early use cases. He described this release as an experiment to 'bypass media gatekeepers,' with plans for global synchronized viewing parties using Bitcoin and the Nostr protocol. The film also includes an exclusive interview with Edward Snowden, revealing details of WikiLeaks' assistance in his escape from Hong Kong to Moscow.
