A satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, named after Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto. One Bitcoin (BTC) equals exactly 100,000,000 satoshis. To convert satoshis to USD, multiply the number of satoshis by the current Bitcoin price in USD, then divide by 100,000,000.
For example: If Bitcoin is trading at $60,000 USD, then 1 satoshi equals $0.0006 USD, and $1 USD equals approximately 1,667 satoshis. The satoshi to USD conversion rate changes constantly as Bitcoin's price fluctuates in the cryptocurrency market.

Why use satoshis? Many Bitcoin investors prefer calculating in satoshis rather than fractional Bitcoin amounts. As Bitcoin's price increases, satoshis become more practical for everyday transactions and micro-payments. Understanding satoshi to dollar conversion is essential for Bitcoin trading, investing, and using cryptocurrency services.
