I just realized that at a BTC price of around $183,150, $1 equals 546 base units and would be considered "dust" under typical conditions.

If BTC goes above $183,150, then $1 worth of bitcoin could be uneconomical to spend, essentially making it dust.

Didn’t know the dust limit was that high

Spending a P2PKH output takes about 148 vbytes, and at 1 sat/vbyte, the dust limit is 3 × 148 = 444 sats, but with a safety margin, it's set to 546 sats. This is the default dust limit in Core and Knots
