contents In the study of the generalization of Hilbert's Third Problem to spherical geometry, Sah constructed a Hopf algebra of spherical polytopes with product given by join and coproduct given by a generalized Dehn invariant. Using Zakharevich's reinterpretation of scissors congruence via algebraic K-theory, we lift the Sah algebra to an $(E_\infty, E_1)$-Hopf algebra spectrum whose $π_0$ is the classical Sah algebra. As an application, we show that the reduced spherical scissors congruence $K$-theory groups $\widetilde K_{2n}\big(\mathcal{P}^{S^{2k+1}}_{O(2k+2)}\big)$ are nonzero for all nonnegative integers $n$ and $k$.
