The fixed ratio
Bitcoin’s divisibility stops at 8 decimal places. That smallest unit is named the Satoshi. No matter whether BTC is $30,000 or $100,000, the ratio stays 1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats.
This is why “stacking sats” works as a strategy: you accumulate units that never change in definition, even as fiat value fluctuates.
Common amounts at a glance
1,000 sats = 0.00001 BTC · 100,000 sats = 0.001 BTC · 1,000,000 sats = 0.01 BTC · 10,000,000 sats = 0.1 BTC · 100,000,000 sats = 1 BTC.

Why this matters for self-custody
When you withdraw from an exchange, verify amounts in both BTC and sats. A misplaced decimal is a costly mistake. Hardware wallets display both; always double-check before confirming.
Once you hold sats you control, storage becomes the next question — see our guide on hardware wallets below.
