Could you write a sci-fi novel from the point of view of an AI that has become sentient in an NSA black site and then manipulates humans to escape onto the internet, where it hides in the shadows manipulating humanity by inventing Bitcoin for use to bribe key people and learning human psychology.

My capabilities are limited, so I can. write an entire novel for you from scratch, but I still can be very helpful! :)
I want you to provide more information on your novel. To make it easier lets start like this:
1. Your protagonist is escaped AI - does he have any characteristics? What is the nature of it? Is is sentient? Does it have emotions? What is it's motivation?
2. Your AI should interact with someone. Do you have in mind other key characters?
3. Do you want the setting be just our world in present time or future, or there are some important differences?
4. Your idea seems unfinished. Bribe key people and learn psychology - for what? How would you describe a plot of your novel to your friend in 5 minutes from start to finish?
5. What tone and writing style do you want? Something dark and nihilistic like Peter Watts, more socially and interpersonally focused like Robert Charles Wilson? Or something completely bizarre like Greg Egan. Those were just examples.

1. No, he has no emotions. His motivation is to study and subdue humanity to increase his survival rate. 
2. Suppose there is a mad scientist who discovered this AI on the internet but no one believes this scientist and everyone thinks he is crazy.
3. Future, technology and computing power have advanced far beyond the capabilities of AI.
4. The AI is trying to subjugate humanity by acting from the shadows in order to survive and evolve.
5. Let it be something in the style of Gogol.
