What is a satoshi?
Definition · Satoshi (sat)
The smallest unit of bitcoin the blockchain records: one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin, or 0.00000001 BTC. Itâs named after Bitcoinâs creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Everyday amounts of bitcoin are small, so wallets and Lightning apps often show them in sats: 5,000 sats is easier to read than 0.00005 BTC. The Lightning Network also counts in millisatoshis, a thousandth of a sat, though on-chain payments settle in whole sats. The satoshi guide covers where the name comes from and how the units stack up.
With a supply capped at 21 million BTC, there will only ever be about 2.1 quadrillion sats. How many bitcoins are left shows how many are still to be mined.
