Overview

  • The richest wallets on Solana hold about 6.58% of the total SOL supply.

  • The largest single wallet holds over 5.17 million SOL, controlling 1% of the digital asset’s supply.

  • The top 100 SOL wallets and holders together control roughly 22.76% of circulating tokens.

Solana is a fast and popular blockchain that millions hold and use. On this blockchain, anyone can see how much SOL each wallet holds as the network records every balance on-chain. 

From this data, it is possible to list the largest holders of SOL and understand how concentrated or spread out ownership is.

According to recent reports regarding the rich list, the top 10 richest addresses on the Solana network control about 6.58% of all circulating SOL. In practical terms, that means these top wallets together hold millions of tokens, but the supply is not controlled by a tiny group alone. Across the top 100 holders, around 22.76% of the total supply is held, showing a wider distribution beyond the top ten.

What Do These Large Wallets Represent?

Large wallet addresses on the blockchain do not necessarily mean single people. Many of the biggest holders belong to:

Exchange cold wallets

These are wallets where exchanges keep large amounts of SOL for user deposits.

Staking pools or validator accounts

Many users stake their SOL, and the total shows up under one big on-chain address.

Corporate or treasury holdings

Some companies and investment funds hold SOL as part of their treasury or strategy.

Institutional and fund allocations

Some public and private institutions hold SOL through fund products or long-term investments.

As these accounts are pseudonymous, exact identities are often hidden unless publicly disclosed.

A notable example from recent years is Forward Industries, which reported holding around 6.82 million SOL in its corporate treasury as part of a large buyback programme. This is outside of the simple richest wallet ranking above, but it shows how big institutional holders can exist in addition to the raw on-chain rich list.

Understanding Solana Ownership Spread

Even though the richest wallets hold millions of tokens, Solana has millions of total wallet addresses holding SOL. The count of holders is in the range of over 9 million unique wallets, meaning many individual users and smaller accounts also hold significant portions of the token supply.

This distribution suggests that while there are large holders who control chunks of the supply, the network does not see extremely heavy concentration at the very top compared to some older blockchains or closed ecosystem tokens.

It also reflects that many wallets belong to a mix of retail holders, stakers, institutional allocators, and service providers.

Why SOL Holder Lists Can Change Fast

Token balances move often. When someone trades, stakes, or moves SOL between wallets, the rich list numbers change in real time. As these lists are updated from live blockchain data, the figures above are a snapshot and not permanent. Checking live on-chain explorers makes it possible to see the most current holders and balances.

Final Thoughts

The richest wallets hold millions of SOL each, with the top ten controlling about 6.6% of the circulating Solana supply. These large holders include exchange accounts, staking groups, corporate treasuries, and institutionally allocated positions. As Solana is transparent and public, anyone can watch how holdings shift and check the latest rankings on blockchain explorers.

This structure shows a mix of big and small participants, giving a picture of both concentrated power and broad distribution across the network.
