Ordinals NFTs are inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain that hold a certain amount of Bitcoin (sats). Sometimes, an inscription may hold more sats than required, which means your specific Bitcoin balance is stuck in that inscription.

Bitcoin is divisible, just like dollars. The smallest unit of bitcoin is called a satoshi, which is like a cent. There are 100 million satoshis in one bitcoin, so each satoshi is worth 0.00000001 BTC.

Extract Extra Bitcoins from Ordinals NFTs

To extract the extra sats from an inscription, you need to have your assets in unisat wallet. When your assets are already in a unisat wallet, then it's fine. Otherwise, you have two options:

1. Either create new Unisat wallet and send the inscription of the ordinal NFT to a newly created unisat wallet.
2. Or import your wallet to unisat using your private key, 12-word seed phrase, or WIF private key.

Split Bitcoin and Ordinal NFT

Step 1: When you've your ordinals NFTs on Unisat wallet. Open your Unisat wallet and click on any ordinal NFT inscription.

Step 2: Click Send.

Step 3: Now, under the output value, you can see the current amount of sats your inscription is holding.

Step 4: When the sats amount is more than 10,000 sats, simply click on Custom. Enter sats amount 10,000. Enter your current Unisat wallet address in the Recipient field and click Next.

It will cost you the network fee and then you'll receive your own ordinal NFT back in your wallet with a holding of 10,000 sats. Your Bitcoins (sats more than 10,000) that were stuck in the inscription are now free to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this possible to use this method for merged inscriptions?

No, it is not possible to use this method for merged inscriptions. First, you need to split the merged inscriptions, and then you can utilize this method to free up your stuck Bitcoin.

2. How to convert sats to BTC and USD?

You can use this converter to convert satoshis (sats) to BTC and USD.

3. Is it profitable to use this method when the current output is below 20,000 sats?

No, it is not profitable to use this method when the current output is below 20,000 sats. This is because you will have to pay a network fee to send the ordinal NFT to your wallet back, and the cost of the fee will be more than the amount of Bitcoin (sats) you will receive.

4. Why should I select 10,000 sats in custom output?

Usually, your ordinal NFT inscription is in the first 1,000 sats. However, it is good to have a safe range because some tools have a limit of including a maximum of 10,000 sats when creating an ordinal NFT inscription.
