Foresight News reports that Block co-founder Jack Dorsey stated at the "Bitcoin 2026" conference that he supports the documentary "The Six Billion Dollar Man" being distributed through Bitcoin community channels. Directed by Eugene Jarecki, the film focuses on the ordeal of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under prosecution by the US government. It has won the Best Documentary Award at the Cannes Film Festival and the inaugural Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary, but has been rejected by mainstream streaming platforms. The Bitcoin community closely aligns with the principles of information freedom that Assange has championed.


In 2011, when WikiLeaks was blocked by Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal, Bitcoin became the only unbannable payment channel to sustain it, which he considers one of the most important real-world use cases for Bitcoin in its early days. He described this distribution as an experiment to "bypass media gatekeepers" and said there would be global synchronized viewing parties organized through Bitcoin and the Nostr protocol. The documentary also includes an exclusive interview with Edward Snowden, who revealed details of how WikiLeaks assisted Snowden in escaping from Hong Kong to Moscow.
