Hunter Biden is launching a 1 billion-token meme coin called LAPTOP on the Base blockchain on September 9, 2026. The project references the controversial laptop linked to him and aims to attract attention by airdropping 20% of tokens to wallets that lost money on Donald Trump’s TRUMP meme coin. Additionally, 30% of LAPTOP tokens are tied to real-world political and crypto events that could trigger token burns or charity donations. Founders hold 30% of tokens with a lock-up period, while unofficial copycat tokens have already appeared. The launch will test whether the political symbolism and unique tokenomics can generate real investor interest.
