MiningStore Featured in Unbanked Documentary: Powering Bitcoin’s Global Story
Bitcoin’s story is about more than price charts, it’s about access. A new feature-length documentary, Unbanked, directed by David Kuhn and Lauren Sieckmann, explores how Bitcoin empowers people across every socioeconomic level. MiningStore is proud to be featured in the film as one of the companies building the infrastructure that makes this financial revolution possible.
A Documentary About Bitcoin’s Universal Reach
From Harlem residents stacking $100 worth of Bitcoin to global executives like Michael Saylor overseeing multibillion-dollar treasuries, Unbanked shows that Bitcoin’s benefits are the same regardless of scale. Like the internet, it is open, permission-less, and globally accessible.
The documentary, which premieres August 15 on www.unbankedmovie.com, highlights the individuals, ideas, and infrastructure powering this transformation. MiningStore’s inclusion underscores the critical role megawatt-class Bitcoin mining facilities play in securing the network and enabling adoption worldwide.
MiningStore’s Contribution: Building the Backbone of Bitcoin
“Bitcoin doesn’t just belong to billionaires or institutions, it belongs to anyone with access to the network,” said JohnPaul Baric, CEO of MiningStore, who is featured throughout the film. “At MiningStore, our mission is to build scalable, efficient, and transparent mining infrastructure that ensures Bitcoin remains accessible, resilient, and profitable.”
MiningStore currently operates over 40 megawatts (MW) of capacity. These sites, primarily located across Iowa, leverage cost-advantaged energy markets and renewable-heavy grids, aligning with ESG standards increasingly required by institutional investors.
Why This Story Matters Now
Bitcoin is at a turning point. Institutional adoption is accelerating, capital is flowing back into the sector, and miners are scaling to meet global demand. Unbanked captures this pivotal moment, blending the stories of everyday users with the companies delivering the infrastructure that sustains the network.

- Investment Scale: over 40 MW deployed across strategic sites.
- Operational Resilience: facilities engineered for uptime, efficiency, and transparency.
