Satoshis (sats) are the smallest unit of Bitcoin, and by consistently stacking themโ€”whether through purchases, earnings, or investmentsโ€”you gradually accumulate more Bitcoin over time. This strategy is powerful because Bitcoin has a fixed supply, which creates scarcity and the potential for long-term value appreciation.
