Shiba Inu team member Lucie has offered an important clarification on SHIB supply reduction. The Shiba Inu team member was responding to an X user who asked that Shiba Inu developers take action regarding the SHIB supply.
According to Lucie, Shiba Inu developers cannot change the SHIB supply because Ryoshi burned the keys, meaning no one has control over it. Ryoshi is the pseudonymous creator of Shiba Inu who vanished from social media in May 2022 much like Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Lucie highlighted what needs to be done to reduce SHIB supply: "To reduce the supply, SHIB needs to be bought and burned, and that takes money."
Lucie highlights an exciting part of this whole strategy that would allow more SHIB to be burned: "To really reduce the supply in a big way, we need millions (even billions) of users! The plan is to build an epic system that brings in tons of people, using shibarium every day. The more users we have, the more SHIB can be burned, making it more valuable over time."

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu's total supply as given is 589,271,230,359,528. Shiba Inu had a total supply of 1 quadrillion tokens at inception.
