Why 100 million?
Bitcoin's software counts every amount in whole satoshis: a bitcoin is simply 100,000,000 of them, written with eight decimal places. The unit was named after Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin's pseudonymous creator.
Because one bitcoin now costs tens of thousands of dollars, many wallets, Lightning apps and shops quote prices in sats — it is easier to say "2,000 sats" than "0.00002 BTC".
Convert any amount with the sats converter or see everyday prices in sats.
