Hedera · HBAR
An enterprise layer-1 with a capped supply and a treasury that releases on schedule
A capped-supply enterprise chain you must hold to use — but the story serious money buys is elsewhere.
How we judge every coin · tap▾
You want coins with the best chance to rise. Three forces decide it: inflation (fewer new coins = less selling pressure), narrative (a strong story pulls buyers in), business model (is the token actually needed, and used). Full method →
HBAR · a capped supply, leaking into the market on schedule.
HBAR is the native coin of the Hedera network — capped at 50 billion, all minted at the start. Roughly 43.8B circulate; the rest sits in a treasury reserve that releases on a multi-year schedule.
Sell pressure. The treasury moves about 502M HBAR from its reserve onto the open market over the next 90 days — no new coins are minted.
Buy pressure. None. Hedera does not buy back HBAR and does not burn fees, so nothing removes supply.
Net. About +1.1% to market over 90 days — supply drifting up as scheduled releases reach the float.
HBAR is capped at 50 billion, all minted at the start — the network never creates new coins, so protocol inflation is structurally zero. Staking rewards are paid out of the existing treasury reserve, not freshly minted.
No dated team or investor cliff lands in this window — the remaining flow is treasury-directed, not a fixed vesting unlock, so it is counted under row 3.
The Hedera Treasury moves already-minted HBAR from its non-circulating reserve onto the open market on a council-directed schedule — about 502M reached the tradable float over the past 90 days (~167M a month), and a similar pace is expected next quarter. Larger treasury allocations (a ~3.97B ecosystem grant in Q2 2026) went to ecosystem foundations rather than the market, so most of that did not hit the float. The ~6.2B still sitting in the treasury reserve plus those foundation wallets are the tracked overhang.
No bankruptcy estate or court-ordered distribution applies to HBAR.
Hedera runs no buyback program — no protocol mechanism buys HBAR off the market.
Network fees are not burned — they are paid to the treasury and shared with node operators, so no HBAR is permanently removed from supply. Total network fees are tiny, so even a burn would barely move supply.
No discretionary open-market buying by the treasury or council — monitored.
No new multi-year lock or escrow announced in the window — monitored.
