A Satoshi is the smallest division of a bitcoin and the base unit of exchange on the Bitcoin SV network. There are 100,000,000 satoshis in 1 bitcoin. The unit is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous author of the 2008 Bitcoin whitepaper.
Satoshis are represented as integers where 1 satoshi is the smallest unit of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
A single Bitcoin is a human construct, as any value of Bitcoin less than 100,000,000 satoshis are actually treated integers in the code, not decimals.
