(Who owns the most Ethereum? Top ETH Holders in 2026), listing the current largest ETH holding addresses in the market.



Data shows that over 60% of the total ETH supply is stored in the ETH2 Beacon Deposit Contract (77,186,906 ETH, worth approximately $241.39 billion, accounting for 63.23% of the supply).

The largest individual holder is Rain Lohmus (holding 250,000 ETH, worth about $78.6 million), but access is lost due to private key loss.

The largest accessible individual holder is Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who currently owns 240,000 ETH, valued at approximately $75.4 million. Other data is shown in the chart.

BlockBeats Note: Rain Lohmus is one of the founders of Estonia’s leading financial group LHV Group (LHV Pank / LHV Bank). In the 2014 Ethereum ICO, he spent about $75,000 to purchase 250,000 ETH (when ETH was priced at $0.30). This batch of ETH has never been transferred and the address is fully visible on the chain. However, due to Rain Lohmus losing his private key, access to this asset is completely lost.

In 2023, he publicly acknowledged this on Estonia’s national radio and stated, “Anyone can calculate its value,” also mentioning that if someone can provide a reliable recovery method, he is willing to share part of the assets. By 2025-2026, with ETH prices soaring, the value of this 250,000 ETH once exceeded $1.2 billion.
