2e-8 is 0.00000002
So you have BTC0.00000002
Or about $0.0007299

Could you share where you get it, on what platform, please?

That looks a bit tricky and can cause a user makes mistakes and loses money. I don't like any platform displays a user balance like this.

Btw, you can take this chance to learn more about Bitcoin units.

It seems that preev.com understands what exactly 2e-8 in BTC if you paste it there you will get the exact result as Dave posted above

It sounds much bigger than it really is, and I guess number 8 means there is 8 zeros in this number and it's easier to read it like this.
There are even some scientific calculators that can calculate this, but they can give different results based on interpretation.

Remember it like this: e-8 = exponential -8. It's 10^-8, so 2e-8 = 2 * 10^-8.
