Total supply of XLM is 103.8 billion, there are 18.5 billion in circulation and it is not a mineable coin.

Who holds 85 billion XLMs?

The answer is needed to determine the level of XLM decentralization.

New XLM coins are generated every day. It's part of the code. I think it's +2% annually. So, nobody holds 85 Billion XLM, they currently are non existant.

That is not true, the new coins are on top of the 100 billion that were made in 2014:

In 2014 the Stellar network launched with 100 billion stellars, the original name of the network’s native asset.

So who holds 85 billion XLMs? How is this decentralized?
