Shiba Inu (SHIB) Adds 147,593 Holders in 2026 as On-Chain Base Reaches 1,696,223
Key Takeaways
- •Shiba Inu's on-chain holder count stood at 1,696,223 as of the Oct. 30 reading published by COINOTAG.
- •The token added 147,593 wallet addresses between the start of 2026 and the latest count, bringing total holders to roughly 1.7 million.
- •A total of 210 new addresses were recorded on Oct. 30, a pace below the year-to-date average of about 487 additions per day.
- •Holder counts measure distinct addresses holding SHIB, so they indicate address-level breadth rather than balance distribution or capital flows.
- •Shiba Inu launched in August 2020 as an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token and has since expanded to include ShibaSwap, the Shibarium Layer-2 network, and the BONE and LEASH tokens.
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) holder base has grown to 1,696,223 on-chain holders, with the dog-themed memecoin adding 147,593 wallet addresses since the start of 2026. According to figures published by COINOTAG, 210 of those new addresses were added on Oct. 30 alone.
The reading comes from the daily holder count logged for Day 303 of the year, published at 12:00 UTC on Oct. 30.
Steady On-Chain Growth
The cumulative increase of 147,593 addresses since the start of the year brings the total number of wallets holding SHIB to roughly 1.7 million, a figure tracked through daily on-chain counts. The Oct. 30 snapshot marked the latest entry in that series.
Spread across the 303 days logged so far, the year-to-date increase works out to an average of roughly 487 new addresses per day, meaning the single-day figure of 210 recorded on Oct. 30 sits below that running average. Upcoming entries in the same daily count will show whether the pace of additions over the remainder of 2026 runs above or below the year-to-date figure.
Holder counts measure the number of distinct addresses holding a token at a given time, without capturing how many tokens each address holds or how those balances are distributed in size. The series is therefore generally read as a breadth measure of address-level distribution rather than a gauge of capital flows.
About Shiba Inu
Shiba Inu launched in August 2020 as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, created by the pseudonymous founder Ryoshi. The token gained prominence during the wave of dog-themed cryptocurrencies that followed Dogecoin, aided by a widely reported supply event in which roughly half of its initial one-quadrillion token supply was transferred to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who burned the bulk of it.
The ecosystem has since expanded beyond the original token. It includes ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange, and Shibarium, a Layer-2 network, alongside the ecosystem tokens BONE and LEASH. In the memecoin segment, where developments are frequently gauged through community footprint and on-chain activity, daily holder tallies of this kind are among the metrics followed most consistently. Holder counts such as the one reported for 2026 are a commonly cited on-chain metric of address-level distribution, although wallet addresses do not map one-to-one with individual owners.
