Bitcoin Satoshi Price Today

The current Bitcoin satoshi price is displayed live at the top of this page, updated hourly from Coinbase. One satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, equal to 0.00000001 BTC. The value of a single satoshi in US dollars depends on the current Bitcoin market price.

To find the current price of one satoshi: divide the Bitcoin price by 100,000,000. To find how many satoshis one dollar buys: divide 100,000,000 by the Bitcoin price. This inverse relationship means that as Bitcoin's price rises, each satoshi becomes more valuable but fewer sats fit in a dollar.

Understanding Satoshis: Bitcoin's Smallest Unit

Understanding Satoshi to USD Conversion

₿

What is a Satoshi?

A satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, named after its pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. One Bitcoin equals exactly 100,000,000 satoshis--think of satoshis as "Bitcoin cents," but much smaller.

Why Stack Sats?

As Bitcoin's price rises, satoshis become the practical unit for everyday transactions. Many Bitcoiners "stack sats"--accumulating small amounts regularly--embracing the long-term sound money perspective.

The Conversion Math

To convert satoshis to USD: multiply satoshis by the current BTC price, then divide by 100 million. At $100,000 per BTC, one satoshi equals $0.001 USD.

How many satoshis make one dollar?

This changes in real-time as Bitcoin's price moves. The formula is: 100,000,000 ÷ BTC price = sats per dollar. Check the "Sats per $1" stat above for the current live rate, or use our converter for custom amounts.

Is satoshi the same as Bitcoin?

Satoshi is a unit of Bitcoin, not a separate cryptocurrency. Just as cents are to dollars, satoshis are to Bitcoin--but much smaller: 100 million satoshis equal one Bitcoin.

Why are satoshis becoming more popular?

As Bitcoin's price increases, fractional Bitcoin amounts become unwieldy. Saying "5,000 sats" is clearer than "0.00005 BTC." Satoshis also reinforce the idea that you don't need to buy a whole Bitcoin to own Bitcoin.
