Eugene Jarecki Knew Streamers ‘Were Never Going to Touch’ His Julian Assange Documentary. So He’s Releasing It Through B

Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, saying major streamers wouldn’t touch his Julian Assange documentary, is releasing it via Bitcoin with assistance from Jack Dorsey. This positions Bitcoin as an alternative distribution and monetization channel for high-profile media, emphasizing censorship-resistance and novel payment/ownership use cases. The move could drive mainstream attention and incremental demand for Bitcoin-based distribution tools and payment rails (on-chain or Lightning).
