Shiba Inu investors holding 1 billion SHIB tokens could rake in substantial returns over the next few years if the asset maintains an upward trend.
The broader crypto market has staged a recovery push, and Shiba Inu appears to be benefiting from this rebound. This comes after weeks of intense bearish pressure amid macroeconomic headwinds such as trade tensions triggered by the United States.
Shiba Inu Addresses with 1B to 1T Tokens Actively Distributing
Notably, amid the broader market downtrend, which began in February 2025, Shiba Inu investor sentiment has dropped. As a result, shrimp and shark addresses have been distributing their holdings, albeit at a slow pace.
Specifically, data from IntoTheBlock shows that investors holding between 1 billion and 1 trillion SHIB tokens now have a cumulative balance of 241.27 trillion SHIB. As of Feb. 1, these investors held 244.23 trillion, with the latest figure confirming that they distributed or sold 2.96 trillion tokens within this period.

Notably, this intense selloff has contributed to Shiba Inu’s downward pressure. However, some investors within this tier have held onto their stash. These resolute investors continue to hold onto the hope that SHIB will rebound to greater heights. However, the extent of this rebound remains uncertain.
As a result, The Crypto Basic recently spotlighted timelines for one of the ambitious Shiba Inu price predictions made by bullish analysts, particularly the one that could push an investment of 1 billion SHIB tokens to $500,000.
For context, 1 billion SHIB today is worth $14,000 at Shiba Inu’s current price of $0.000014. For these tokens to hit $500,000, SHIB would need to trade at $0.0005, a lofty target. To put this into perspective, Shiba Inu would have to spike by a massive 3,471% from the current position to reach $0.0005.
When Could 1B SHIB Tokens Hit $500,000?
Interestingly, experts at Changelly expect Shiba Inu to reach this price level over the next eight years, specifically in 2033. According to Changelly analysts, SHIB would begin 2033 with a minimum price of $0.000308 in January. However, they expect the asset to hit $0.000505 as its maximum price in November 2033, transforming 1 billion tokens to $505,000.

However, analysts at Telegaon are more bullish regarding the timeline for this audacious target. While Changelly analysts believe Shiba Inu would reach $0.0005 in November 2033, those at Telegaon expect the price to materialize sooner, specifically in 2029, when they see SHIB hitting $0.000588.

Notably, to get additional insights, we also sought opinions from AI models. In its response, OpenAI’s ChatGPT suggested that SHIB could realistically reach $0.00005 to $0.0001 this year if bullish prospects persist. However, it is expected that $0.0005 will materialize between 2026 and 2027, but only on the condition of an 80% reduction in circulating supply.

Meanwhile, Grok’s predictions align closely with what Telegaon analysts believe. Particularly, the xAI model sees Shiba Inu reaching a price range of $0.000102 to $0.0007 between 2028 and 2030. Nonetheless, it believes this will only happen if SHIB supply reduces by at least 50%, Shibarium becomes a top L2 network and the broader crypto market hits a $10 trillion valuation.
