How to convert USD to SATS
Enter a U.S. dollars amount above. The calculator translates it through the relevant public reference and displays an indicative amount in Satoshis. You can reverse the direction without leaving the page.
Sats make small bitcoin quantities easier to read, but the calculator remains informational and cannot place a purchase.
The public reference path
Bitcoin.now links USD and SATS through the smallest configured set of public market observations while keeping every fiat, stablecoin and crypto leg identified.
About U.S. dollars
The U.S. dollar is fiat money issued within the United States monetary system. A BTC/USD market is an order book quoted in actual dollars, subject to the venue's banking and account arrangements.
USD is a common unit for budgets, accounting and comparing market values in the United States and many international markets.
About Satoshis
A satoshi, commonly shortened to sat, is the smallest standard Bitcoin unit. One sat equals 0.00000001 BTC and 100,000,000 sats equal one BTC.
Sats make small payments, Lightning invoices and fee amounts easier to read without writing many leading zeros.

Risks the number does not show
USD: A USD reference does not include an exchange's spread, card or bank fees, withdrawal costs, taxes or jurisdictional access.
SATS: A sat is a denomination, not a different token. Anyone offering a separate 'satoshi coin' may be using confusing or misleading language.
Spread, order-book depth, slippage, funding charges, withdrawal fees and taxes remain outside the calculation.
