holders
Things that grasp
Holders are people or things that hold.
A holder grasps, contains, or possesses something: a candle holder, a ticket holder, a record holder.
In legal and financial contexts, holders have rights or claims: bondholders, policyholders, stakeholders.
The word often compounds with what's being held: cardholder, placeholder, shareholder.
