Rare Sats
What Are Rare Sats?
Rare Sats (short for Rare Satoshis) are individual satoshis that hold unique historical, structural, or cultural significance based on their position in the Bitcoin blockchain. The concept was popularized by the Ordinals community, treating some sats as digital collectibles, similar to rare coins in the physical world.
Each satoshi has a unique ordinal number, and some of them fall into specific rarity categories, such as being the first sat of a block, a halving epoch, or even from the genesis block.
🔧 How It Works
Ordinals theory assigns every satoshi a serial number based on mining order.
Rarity is determined through the sattributes, which define different levels of rarity. Learn more about sattributes.
Rare sats can be tracked, inscribed, and traded via compatible wallets and marketplaces.
💡 Key Characteristics
No added metadata — rarity is based purely on satoshi placement and ordinal theory
Collectible value — driven by community interest, not protocol rules
Native to Bitcoin — all sats already exist; no tokens or modifications needed
Tradable — often inscribed and sold as 1-sat UTXOs with proof of rarity
Rare sats bring a numismatic layer to Bitcoin, turning individual satoshis into collectible artifacts. They blur the line between digital art, on-chain culture, and pure data — showing how deep value can emerge from Bitcoin’s raw structure.
