There are exactly 100,000,000 satoshis in one Bitcoin.
A satoshi, often shortened to “sat,” is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, just like a cent is to a dollar. It allows Bitcoin to be used for micro-transactions and everyday payments around the world.
A satoshi is the smallest denomination of Bitcoin, recorded on the blockchain.
It lets anyone own or send a fraction of BTC, no matter the price of one full coin.
There will always be exactly 100 million satoshis in one Bitcoin, this rule is built into Bitcoin’s code and cannot change. It’s what makes Bitcoin both scarce and infinitely divisible at the same time.
Did you know?
If you own 100,000,000 sats, you officially own 1 full Bitcoin.
The value of a satoshi depends on Bitcoin’s current market price.
As Bitcoin’s price changes, the value of a satoshi changes with it, but the number of satoshis per Bitcoin never will.
Bitcoin’s divisibility is what makes it practical for global use.
Even if 1 BTC becomes worth hundreds of thousands of euros, smaller units keep it accessible for everyone.
Satoshis enable:
Example: Paying €0.50 for an online article = about 770 sats.
Paying €2 for a coffee = about 3,000 sats.
The satoshi is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s anonymous creator.
When Bitcoin launched in 2009, Nakamoto ensured it could be divided into 100 million parts, so it could serve both as digital gold and digital cash.
The name reflects Bitcoin’s philosophy:
“Every satoshi matters, because every individual matters.”
Bitcoin can be divided into several units, similar to how the dollar divides into cents.
Most modern wallets allow balances to be displayed in either BTC or sats, depending on your preference.
As Bitcoin’s value grew, buying a whole coin became less realistic for many people.
The community’s answer was simple: “stack sats.”
It means buying small, regular amounts of Bitcoin, even €1 at a time.
Over time, these small pieces add up to significant ownership, turning Bitcoin saving into a habit, not a luxury.
This mindset promotes:

Exactly 100,000,000 satoshis per BTC.
To make it usable for every transaction size, from multi-million transfers to micro-payments worth fractions of a cent.
Yes. You can buy even €1 worth, it’s automatically converted into satoshis.
It changes with Bitcoin’s price. If BTC = €65,000, then 1 sat = €0.00065.
0.1 BTC = 10,000,000 sats.
Technically yes, but some wallets have a higher minimum. On the Lightning Network, even 1 sat can be sent instantly.
They make Bitcoin scalable for daily use, ensuring it remains accessible even if BTC reaches six or seven-figure prices.
Each satoshi is a fraction of the world’s most secure digital currency, and a step toward financial independence.
You don’t need to own one whole Bitcoin to be part of the movement.
