However, only a small fraction of users own more than 10 million coins. Below is a detailed breakdown of each holder group.<\/p>\n<h2>How Many Whales?<\/h2>\n<p>The X account BSCN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BSCNews\/status\/2074512009274831141\">revealed<\/a> that only 21 accounts hold over 10 million PI each. The next group of investors (those holding between 1 million and 10 million tokens) comprises 9,961 users, while 766 own between 100,000 and 1 million tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Further down the distribution, 353,340 wallets hold between 1,000 and 10,000 PI, and another 1,503,374 accounts sit in the 100 to 1,000 PI bracket. The largest cohort by far consists of small holders: around 80% of all Pioneers (more than 14.5 million users) possess fewer than 10 coins each.<\/p>\n<p>The post on X ignited a heated debate, drawing numerous people who began dissecting the data. Some claimed that the whales couldn\u2019t have mined such an enormous amount of tokens, arguing that they had bought them on exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Others noted that the overwhelming majority of Pioneers hold extremely small balances, making it difficult for them to contribute to the ecosystem via staking or other utility-driven features.<\/p>\n<h2>PI Price Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately for the multi-million-holder base, Pi Network\u2019s native token has been suffering lately. Earlier this week, it dropped to a new all-time low of around $0.09, representing a 20% plunge on a monthly scale and a 97% collapse since the all-time high of $3 witnessed at the start of 2025.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1442349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1442349\" style=\"width: 941px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1442349 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook.png\" alt=\"PI Price \" width=\"941\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook.png 941w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-90x57.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-143x90.png 143w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-900x566.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-800x503.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-700x440.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-600x377.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-500x315.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-400x252.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-200x126.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PI-Price-Outlook-100x63.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1442349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PI Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Its free fall comes despite the numerous updates introduced by the Core Team.
