Could Shiba Inu Reach $1? The Math Behind the Massive Supply Burn

SHIBA INU SHIB COIN 1

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has remained a hot topic in the crypto space, with investors hoping for a massive price surge.

While analysts have set mid-term targets around $0.0001553, some long-term projections aim for ambitious milestones like $0.01 or even $1.

However, reaching $1 per SHIB presents a huge challenge due to its massive circulating supply.

The Problem with SHIB’s Current Supply

Currently, Shiba Inu has a circulating supply of 589 trillion tokens. If SHIB were to reach $1 per token, its market cap would skyrocket to $589 trillion—a figure that far exceeds the total global economy.

Even achieving a $1 trillion market cap, as suggested by lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, would be a monumental task.

But what if SHIB’s market cap was set to a more realistic $500 billion? How much supply would need to be burned?

How Much SHIB Must Be Burned for a $500B Market Cap?

To reach $1 per SHIB with a $500 billion market cap, the circulating supply must be reduced to just 500 billion tokens.

This means the Shiba Inu community would need to burn 588.5 trillion SHIB, or a staggering 99.91% of the current supply.

Such a drastic burn is highly unlikely, making a $1 SHIB price nearly impossible under current conditions.

While Shiba Inu continues to explore burn mechanisms and ecosystem growth, hitting $1 would require extreme measures, including massive token reductions and exponential demand growth.

For now, SHIB investors may find more realistic targets in the fractions of a cent range, rather than chasing the elusive $1 dream.
