A satoshi (sat) is the smallest denomination of Bitcoin, named after Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. One Bitcoin equals 100,000,000 satoshis. As Bitcoin's price has grown, satoshis have become the practical unit for smaller transactions and discussions. At $100,000 per BTC, one satoshi is worth $0.001. The 'stacking sats' movement encourages regular, small purchases of Bitcoin measured in satoshis. In lending contexts, collateral amounts and liquidation thresholds are often calculated down to the satoshi level for precision.
