2026 Ethereum Position Report: Personal Top 1 Address Private Key Lost, Top 20 Held by Institutions/Trading Platforms
BlockBeats News: On February 12th, Arkham officially released a report titled "Who Owns the Most Ethereum? Top ETH Holders 2026"? Top ETH holders in 2026, list the ranking of the largest ETH holding addresses in the current market.
Statistics show that over 60% of the total ETH supply is stored in ETH2 beacon deposit contracts (77186906 ETH, worth approximately $241.39 billion, accounting for 63.23% of the supply).
The largest individual holder is Rain Lohmus (holding 250000 ETH worth approximately $786 million), but unable to access due to the loss of their private key.
The largest accessible individual holder is Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, who currently holds 240000 ETH worth approximately $754 million. Other data are shown in the figure.
BlockBeats note: Rain Lohmus is one of the founders of Estonia's leading financial group LHV Group (LHV Pank/LHV Bank). He spent about $75000 to purchase 250000 ETH in Ethereum IC0 in 2014 (ETH was priced at $0.30 at the time). This batch of ETH has never been transferred and the address is fully visible on the chain. But due to Rain Lohmus losing his private key, he was completely unable to access this asset.
In 2023, he publicly acknowledged the incident on the Estonian National Radio and stated that 'anyone can calculate its value themselves', while also offering to share some of the assets if someone can provide a reliable recovery method. By 2025-2026, with a significant increase in ETH prices, the value of this 250000 ETH coins will once exceed $1.2 billion.
