[DigitalToday reporter Yunseo Lee (이윤서)] A minimum of 380 million SHIB is needed to enter the top 1 percent of Shiba Inu holders, according to an estimate.

The Crypto Basic, a blockchain outlet, reported on Aug. 27 that only 16,785 wallets exceeded the threshold among about 1.68 million Shiba Inu holding wallets.

With Shiba Inu priced at $0.0000053, buying 380 million SHIB would cost about $2,014, or about 2,775,000 won. If that amount rises to Shiba Inu's previous record high of $0.00008845, its value would grow to $33,611, or about 46.3 million won. That is a 1,568 percent increase from the current valuation.

The bar rises sharply higher up the rankings. To enter the top 0.2 percent, 2.7 billion SHIB is needed, and 3,357 wallets hold that amount. At current prices, the purchase would cost $14,310, or about 19.7 million won. If it returns to the past record high, its value would reach about $238,815, or about 330 million won.

To enter the higher top 0.04 percent bracket, about 18.3 billion SHIB is needed. Only about 703 wallets hold that balance. At current prices, it would cost $96,990, or about 133 million won, and its valuation at the record high would be about $1.62 million, or about 2.233 billion won.

There are many Shiba Inu holding wallets, but the actual distribution is concentrated in a small number of large addresses. The top 10 addresses hold a combined 624.98 trillion SHIB, accounting for about 62.5 percent of total supply. This figure includes not only individual investors but also exchange addresses and burn wallets, so a distinction is needed.

Addresses ranked 11th to 100th hold a total of 205.53 trillion SHIB, accounting for about 20.55 percent of supply. Addresses ranked 101st to 1,000th hold 121.32 trillion SHIB, or about 12.13 percent. By contrast, the remaining addresses from 1,001st to 1.68 millionth hold about 48.14 trillion SHIB, just 4.81 percent of total supply.

This distribution shows Shiba Inu holdings are concentrated in a small number of large addresses, and that the entry threshold rises sharply higher up the rankings. The valuations presented are based on the assumption that Shiba Inu returns to its past record high and do not guarantee actual returns. Even so, they are seen as an example of how much the value of large SHIB holdings can change with price swings.
