All Bitcoin denominations

The same amount expressed in every common unit. Satoshi is always an integer.

Bitcoin has no cents — it has satoshis. The protocol only ever stores integer satoshi amounts; “BTC” and “mBTC” are just human-friendly labels. That's why every serious wallet and exchange normalises to satoshis internally. This converter uses BigInt throughout, so 21 million BTC × 100,000,000 sat/BTC stays precise — Number would lose accuracy past 9 quadrillion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many satoshis are in one Bitcoin?

1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshi (one hundred million). Satoshi is the smallest indivisible unit on the Bitcoin blockchain — the protocol only ever stores and moves integer satoshi amounts. 'BTC' is a display label.

What is a 'bit' in Bitcoin?

1 bit = 100 satoshi = 0.000001 BTC. It's also called micro-bitcoin (μBTC). BIP 176 proposed using 'bit' as a friendlier everyday unit — 'this coffee costs 3,500 bits' reads easier than '0.0035 BTC'.

Does this converter show fiat prices?

No. This converter only translates between Bitcoin denominations — a fixed protocol relationship that never changes. It does not fetch USD/EUR/CNY prices from any exchange. For live fiat quotes use a dedicated price feed; there is no perfect single source of truth.

Why do I need BigInt for Bitcoin math?

Bitcoin's total supply is 21,000,000 BTC × 100,000,000 sat/BTC = 2.1 × 10¹⁵ satoshis. JavaScript Number is only reliable up to Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER = 2^53 − 1 ≈ 9 × 10¹⁵ — so simple sat math still fits, but any multiplication risks silent precision loss. BigInt makes it explicit.
