Netflix is gearing up to launch a new reality series called “House of Streams” on June 18 in the UK and Ireland. Eight well-known online streamers will face off for a prize that’s anything but ordinary. Instead of cash, the winner will claim 1 Bitcoin—worth more than $104,000 at current rates.
Show Details And Prize
According to Netflix’s announcement, the series drops on June 18 and features eight contestants. They’ve built a combined audience of about 4 million followers.
Viewers can expect challenges that test creativity, teamwork, and quick thinking. The top performer walks away with the full Bitcoin reward, which could rise or fall in value once the show ends.

Contestant Lineup Highlights
According to reports, the list of participants includes Twitch stars The Black Hokage, CyborgAngel, and OutplayedByJade. All these streamers have individual styles and faithful followers. Some are famous for long hours of gaming. Others base their audiences around artwork or comments. All will face off under one roof.
Backing And Broader Crypto Content
Netflix isn’t new to cryptocurrency themes. Earlier releases like “Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King” explored the QuadrigaCX collapse. And the upcoming “The Altruists” series covers US President Donald Trump’s former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried alongside Caroline Ellison’s story. This new reality project seems designed to tap into that existing interest in blockchain and digital assets.
Safety Alerts And Scams Warning
On May 22, producers issued a warning: “We support Bitcoin and no other memecoin.” They’re trying to head off fake tokens and pump-and-dump schemes.
In the past, big promotions have drawn copycat coins that vanish as soon as they peak. Contestants and fans alike are being urged to stay vigilant and only trust official channels.

Real-World Risks For Crypto Holders
Security experts say high asset values can make crypto figures targets. In May 2024, French police rescued the father of an entrepreneur held in suburbia after attackers severed one finger. In another case, masked men tried to abduct the family of Pierre Noizat, CEO of French exchange Paymium.
And late last month, three teenagers from Florida allegedly kidnapped a man at gunpoint in Las Vegas and drove him over 70 miles to a desert near White Hills, Arizona. Victims found themselves blindfolded and warned not to look back.
As Netflix readies House of Streams, it faces two challenges. First, it must satisfy viewers looking for both fun and authenticity. Second, it must navigate the very real dangers that follow high-value crypto prizes.
