      Sales

      About these prices

      Each point is one sale of tracked sats, found on chain by the fork: a marketplace listing or an accepted offer paid in the same transaction. Its price is the marketplace's: on Magisat the listing price, the seller's payment plus Magisat's 0.5% seller fee since September 2024 (the buyer's fee is not in it), and for an accepted Magisat offer the payment plus half the fee output; elsewhere the seller's payment plus the marketplace's fees. Sales with no marketplace fee in the transaction (OKX's, among others) are Unknown.

      The unit price is the price less the sold output's own value, per sat of a row. Each sale is of one row, the rarest that holds all the sats it sold, so rows don't overlap: Uncommon is plain uncommons (a 2012 uncommon is an Alpha uncommon, a rare sat a Rare), Block 9 is block 9 chunks (a 450x chunk is 450x). A bundle that mixes rows is of its rarest row. A label row, such as Block 9, 1st tx (a label within Block 9), has no market of its own: it lists the sales lying in it, each as its own row. Include rarer sub-categories also shows a row's rarer sub-categories, such as the alpha uncommons under Uncommon: lighter, priced per sat of the row, named by their own, and outside its median and market numbers. A sale that splits sats out of an output counts only the sats it sold. A sale for no more than the output's own value has no unit price above zero: it is in the table, not on the chart.

      The line is the row's median unit price over the 30 days up to each sale. Outliers, drawn hollow, sold for over 10 times or under a tenth of the median of the row's previous seven sales: a fat finger, a wash trade, something else in the output. They are left out of the line and the row's market numbers. Inscribed sats carry an inscription, whose value is not the rare sat's: hidden unless you include them, and never in the line.

      Alpha

      The first sat of a whole bitcoin: a sat whose number is divisible by 100,000,000. On its own it is not a category; combined with others it is.

      How a sat qualifies

      Ordinal theory numbers sats from 0, so the sat numbers fall into runs of 100,000,000, one per bitcoin: sats 0 to 99,999,999, then 100,000,000 to 199,999,999, and so on. Sat s is an alpha when s is divisible by 100,000,000, the first sat of such a run. Its counterpart at the other end is the omega.

      These are bitcoin in the numbering, not coins in anyone's wallet: an output worth one bitcoin need not hold one whole run.

      Exactly 21,000,000 alphas will exist, from sat 0 to sat 2,099,999,900,000,000. The last run of the numbering is never completed (only 97,690,000 of its sats will be mined), but its first sat is still an alpha.

      Alphas and blocks

      While the subsidy was 50 or 25 bitcoin, every block began on a whole bitcoin, so every block from 0 to 419,999 starts with an alpha: an alpha uncommon (or a rarer tier). After that only some blocks do: every second block from 420,000, then fewer at each halving, and from block 2,100,000 on none. Most alphas fall mid-block: a block of the first halving epoch, at 50 bitcoin, holds 50 of them.

      An alpha at a round number of bitcoin also carries a milestone type: kilosat, decasat, centasat or megasat.

      On this site

      There is no plain Alpha category: an alpha with no other type is not tracked. Alphas are tracked where they combine with something else: the first sat of a block (Alpha uncommon), a milestone, or a historic place such as vintage, Nakamoto blocks, pizza or Silk Road. Those categories are listed below.
