Hunter Biden is launching a cryptocurrency meme coin called “LAPTOP,” according to multiple outlets. CoinDesk and Decrypt say it debuts on Base, while Decrypt specifies a Sept. 9 launch date and describes an airdrop for traders who lost money associated with another token labeled “TRUMP.” The New York Post also frames the launch as turning Biden’s “laptop” into a crypto theme.
CoinDesk and Decrypt add details about how the token supply and distribution are structured. CoinDesk says a significant portion of the supply is set to be burned if certain political and market outcomes occur, including a stated scenario involving a Democratic win in 2028. Decrypt describes the project’s focus on targeting “TRUMP” holders who lose money, describing the airdrop as a mechanism to redistribute tokens under those conditions.
Across the coverage, outlets differ mainly in emphasis: the New York Post highlights the broader “laptop scandal” association, while CoinDesk and Decrypt focus more on the mechanics—Base deployment, the airdrop targeting, and the conditional burn tied to future outcomes.
