Bitcoin to Satoshi Conversion

As the value of Bitcoin continues to rise, satoshis (sats) have become the preferred way to express small amounts, making the world’s number one cryptocurrency easier to use in daily life.

Rather than reading tiny decimals like 0.00000001 BTC, you can think in whole numbers: 1 satoshi. That’s why this Bitcoin to Satoshi converter helps you instantly switch between BTC and Sats, with the current value of Bitcoin in US Dollars shown in real time.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the first digital currency. It uses the peer-to-peer protocol to make instant payments.

• Ticker: BTC
• Symbol: ฿
• Price (USD) by CoinGecko: Loading…

A bitcoin is divisible to eight decimal places – it represents a value of 10 to the power of 8.

It was created in 2009 by an anonymous developer (or a group of developers) whose pseudonym is Satoshi Nakamoto. Over the years, it has become more a store of value than a P2P electronic cash system. And some holders now call it the “digital gold.”

But the Lightning Network is turning BTC into a real medium of exchange. Millions of users now use it on a daily basis, to buy groceries, or to zap each other on Nostr.

Hopefully, bitcoin is a revolutionary form of sound money that has the potential to disrupt the current financial system, to become a global reserve currency.

What is satoshi?

A satoshi (sat), named after Satoshi Nakamoto, its mysterious creator, represents the smallest unit of bitcoin that can be sent or received.

How many satoshis are in a bitcoin?

There are – and will always be – 100,000,000 satoshis in 1 bitcoin.

Why are satoshis useful?

They come in handy for the global adoption of the cryptocurrency:

• Bitcoins are expensive today – but most people can afford to buy satoshis on exchange platforms.
• Satoshis are more convenient when dealing with smaller amounts – 1,000 satoshis vs. 0.0000001 Bitcoin.
• Satoshis make owning bitcoin more substantial – 1,000 satoshi is actually something.

What is the sat symbol?

As of today, there is no symbol for the satoshi. Because the community hasn’t reached a consensus yet. But the smallest unit of the bitcoin is becoming increasingly relevant with bitcoin’s price. And a symbol would make it easier to communicate.

There are initiatives trying to define a universal symbol. Read more about them on SatSymbol.com and SatSymbol.org.

What are some other units of bitcoin?

Bitcoin mirrors the International System of Units and its prefixes. Here are the most popular subunits of bitcoin:

• 1 dBTC (deci-bitcoin) = 0.1 BTC = 10,000,000 sat
• 1 cBTC (centi-bitcoin) = 0.01 BTC = 1,000,000 sat
• 1 mBTC (milli-bitcoin) = 0.001 BTC = 100,000 sat
• 1 μBTC (micro-bitcoin) = 0.000001 BTC = 100 sat

As a rule, the micro-bitcoin subunit is also called a “bit” by users. Check out the bitcoin to bit converter.
