Hunter Biden launches LAPTOP meme coin on Base

Hunter Biden announced the launch of a new meme coin, LAPTOP, scheduled for September 9 on Base, the blockchain network developed by Coinbase. The token’s name references the laptop that became a political flashpoint during the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign.

Token distribution and airdrop strategy

The total supply of LAPTOP is 1 billion tokens. Twenty percent of the supply is earmarked for airdrops, including distributions to wallets that suffered losses trading the TRUMP meme coin, which peaked at about $73 in early 2025 before falling to roughly $2.25.

Event‑linked burn and charity mechanism

Another 30% of the supply is linked to a set of thirty real‑world events spanning politics, cryptocurrency and culture. If a designated event occurs, the associated tokens will be permanently burned. If the event does not occur, the tokens will be transferred to charity under a vesting schedule.

Founders’ allocation and lock‑up

Founders, including Hunter Biden, will receive 30% of the total supply. These tokens are subject to an initial six‑month lock‑up, with a longer unlocking schedule that may extend up to 36 months from the token generation event.

Copycat tokens and market risk

Following the announcement, at least 14 unofficial tokens using the LAPTOP name appeared on various chains such as Robinhood Chain, Solana, TON and BNB Chain, generating significant first‑hour trading volume. The official launch did not include a contract address, increasing the risk of confusion for traders.

Related market activity

Unrelated meme coins linked to the Biden family, such as BODEN and HUNTBODEN, experienced price spikes of 45.7% and 73% respectively after the LAPTOP announcement.

Outlook

The September 9 launch will test whether the official LAPTOP token can attract liquidity, deliver the promised airdrops to TRUMP holders, and execute its event‑based burn mechanism.
