Forget Burns—Here’s the Brutal Math Needed to Launch SHIB to $0.01

Dogecoin’s scrappy cousin needs more than meme magic to hit the penny mark. The cold reality? SHIB’s $5.9 trillion market cap requirement makes Bitcoin’s ATH look like pocket change.

Supply Shock or Bust

With 589 trillion tokens circulating, Shiba Inu would need to either vaporize 99.9% of its supply or attract $5.9 trillion in fresh capital—roughly the GDP of Japan. Neither scenario passes the straight-face test.

The Institutional Pipe Dream

Wall Street’s crypto tourists won’t touch this volatility. Even if every hedge fund manager suddenly developed a taste for dog-themed assets, SHIB’s liquidity pool would evaporate faster than a meme coin influencer’s credibility.

Wake-Up Call: SHIB’s real utility lies in exposing how retail investors keep falling for supply-side fairy tales. The only thing getting to $0.01 here is your probability-adjusted return expectations.

Shiba Inu correlation with Bitcoin This indicates that Shiba Inu’s value would spike massively whenever the price of Bitcoin soars, and vice versa. Notably, Shiba Inu has a history of outperforming Bitcoin. Therefore, a little surge in Bitcoin’s price could translate to a heavy increase for Shiba Inu, potentially paving the way for SHIB’s surge to the ambitious $0.01 target.  Bitcoin to Still Maintain Dominance  This analysis assumes that Shiba Inu’s potential rise to $0.01 would not stop Bitcoin from being the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap. As mentioned earlier, Shiba Inu is expected to have a market cap of $5.89 trillion if its price rises to $0.01. Notably, Bitcoin can only maintain its dominance in the crypto market if its market cap exceeds the $5.89 trillion mark. For instance, at a market cap of $5.89 trillion, each Bitcoin would be worth $296,585, assuming BTC maintains its circulating supply of approximately 19.86 million coins.  Bitcoin could further solidify its dominance in the crypto market if its valuation doubles that of Shiba Inu when SHIB rises to $0.01. Doubling SHIB’s $5.89 trillion market cap would hypothetically put Bitcoin’s valuation at $11.78 trillion.  At this valuation, Bitcoin would trade at $593,171 per coin, representing an increase of 516% from the current price of $96,265.  Despite how enticing this analysis seems, there is no guarantee that Shiba Inu would ever clinch a target price of $0.01 even when Bitcoin’s price increases. Therefore, investors must exercise caution and conduct due diligence before investing in cryptocurrencies.
