At a time when Bitcoin is once again dominating headlines and igniting intense global discussions, we are proud to spotlight our portfolio company Hello Pictures, for their involvement in HBO’s documentary: “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery.”

Hello Pictures played a key role as one of the production companies behind this documentary, with their CEO - Taylor Jones , serving as one of the co-executive producers.

“Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” delves into one of the greatest mysteries in technology and finance: the origins of Bitcoin and the identity of its elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Through meticulous investigation and compelling storytelling, the documentary also explores Bitcoin’s disruptive potential and its far-reaching implications for the global financial system.

The documentary is available for streaming on Max.

Gaming—consistently reported as a $175B industry—stands as the largest media category by revenue. We believe this is an incomplete underestimation.

'Poland has long been a cultural powerhouse. The birthplace of no fewer than six Nobel Literature Prize laureates (most recently Olga Tokarczuk in 2018), the country can also boast a giant of science fiction – Stanisław Lem – and one of the world’s greatest ever film directors, Krzysztof Kieślowski.
