Hunter Biden is turning one of the most famous controversies surrounding his family into a tradable token.
The former president’s son will launch $LAPTOP on September 9, a new meme coin named after the laptop that became a major political issue during the 2020 election.
And Donald Trump is directly woven into the project.
What Is Hunter Biden’s $LAPTOP Meme Coin?
Biden confirmed the launch himself on X, posting only the ticker and date alongside a video referencing years of media coverage around his laptop.
The token will launch on Base, the network developed by Coinbase, with a total supply of 1 billion $LAPTOP tokens, according to the project’s official website.
The name is deliberately provocative.
Rather than distancing himself from the laptop controversy, Biden is now using it as the identity of his first meme coin.
Why Is $LAPTOP Taking Aim at Trump?
The most unusual part of the launch is how the tokens will be distributed.
Biden and the other founders will receive 30% of the supply, while another 20% has been set aside for airdrops.
That includes people who lost money trading Donald Trump’s $TRUMP token, alongside Biden’s Substack subscribers and other selected groups tied to the token distribution.
The project also ties another 30% of supply to 30 real-world predictions.
If certain events happen, the tokens attached to them are permanently destroyed. If they do not, those tokens are donated to charity.
The predictions include whether Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high and whether Trump is impeached during his term.
That makes $LAPTOP part meme coin, part political joke and part prediction experiment.
Political Meme Coins Are Getting Harder to Ignore
$LAPTOP shows how quickly politics and digital assets are merging.
