The Blockstream app can display the current value of a Bitcoin wallet's balance denominated in a variety of local fiat currencies next to the amount of actual bitcoin held in the wallet, giving you a better idea of how much value you're holding in the Blockstream app. You can also choose different exchanges for the current bitcoin price in the local currency, as well as alternative denominations of bitcoin, such as [satoshis](https://glossary.blockstream.com/sats/), as the default.

Follow these steps to change the local currency used to value your bitcoin in the Blockstream app.

1.

Tap the **Settings** tab located at the far right of the bottom navigation bar.

> **Note:** The **Denomination & Exchange Rate** pop-up window is also where you can change the default denomination of bitcoin. Every bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshis (or sats), so you may prefer to view your balance in smaller denominations.
