10th July, 2026

The Bodley Head has acquired Satoshi’s Secret: The Hunt for the Mysterious Inventor of Our New Financial Age by New York Times-bestselling author John Carreyrou.

Stuart Williams acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Jack Fogg at DunnFogg, on behalf of Eric Lupfer at Calligraph in New York and Boston. Hilary Redmon at Alfred A Knopf acquired US rights. Publication is expected in autumn 2028.

The synopsis says: “Satoshi’s Secret follows John Carreyrou’s blockbuster investigation for theNew York Times and tells the story of one of the great mysteries of our time – and how he solved it: the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin and of our new financial age. At the heart of this epic detective story – animated by mathematical geniuses, paranoid inventors, billionaires, con artists and corporate intrigues – are the origins of a $2.6 trillion industry; a mosaic of our epoch’s economic, political and cultural fracture; and the unmasking of one of the world’s richest people and one of the most significant inventors of this century, and arguably the last several.”
