white chip

Lowest poker stake

White chip is the lowest-denomination chip in poker, typically worth one dollar or one unit.

In business and investing, white chip describes small, low-value companies or stocks—the opposite of blue chip: White chip stocks carry more risk but offer growth potential.

The term derives from the traditional color coding of casino chips.
