How finely can Bitcoin be divided?
The smallest unit recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain is 1 satoshi. On the Lightning Network, amounts can be denominated down to one-thousandth of a satoshi.
An output that’s too small might not even cover the fee to spend it, and nodes’ default policies treat such outputs as “dust” and won’t relay them.
$BTC You don’t have to buy a whole bitcoin—you can buy a fraction of one, or even less.
