What is Off-Chain Media?
Content and journalism about Bitcoin, with clarity and conviction.
Who we are
Off-Chain Media is an independent media project founded by Marius, a journalist and educator focused on Bitcoin. We produce clear, rigorous, and impactful content to highlight the monetary, energy, and political transformation driven by Bitcoin.
What we do
We create tailored content for Bitcoin-native companies and produce independent journalism, including:
- Documentaries
- Interviews
- Analysis articles
- Weekly video shows
Our work speaks to both newcomers and experienced Bitcoiners.
Our approach
We believe Bitcoin is a historic shift. Our goal is to contribute to it, by informing, explaining, and debating its core ideas. We take a maximalist stance and we’re not afraid to challenge opposing views.
Our formats
- Written content:
- news, essays, and long-form articles
- Video production:
- documentaries, short-form videos, and field reports (including one shot in El Salvador)
