Hunter Biden is launching a meme coin on Base tied to his laptop scandal, with one-fifth of the 1 billion-token supply reserved for TRUMP coin holders who lost money.

Hunter Biden will debut LAPTOP on Sept. 9, a Base meme coin with 1 billion tokens, setting aside 20 percent for TRUMP losers.
The Wall Street Journal reported the plan, which takes aim at President Donald Trump as his family expands its digital-asset ventures. Biden, 56, has described decentralized digital assets as "an inevitable future" in recent posts on X, and has weighed into the dispute between the Trump family's World Liberty Financial and entrepreneur Justin Sun.
Founders, including Biden, hold 30 percent of the total supply, locked for six months and fully vested over two years. The 20 percent airdrop allocation splits into two batches: wallets of people who lost money on TRUMP, and subscribers to Biden's Substack plus an email list curated by video journalist Andrew Callaghan. Another 20 percent covers liquidity for exchange partners, market makers, and the foundation's legal and accounting costs.
Up to 30 percent of supply can be burned, but only if 30 predetermined events land. Three named triggers are steep: a Democratic win in the 2028 presidential election, a new all-time high for Bitcoin, and LAPTOP's fully diluted valuation surpassing TRUMP's.
The token draws its name from the laptop Biden left at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2018. Its contents spread online before the 2020 election and fueled years of attacks on his overseas business dealings. Federal prosecutors used the same machine against him in 2024, when an FBI agent testified the serial number matched Apple's records.
TRUMP trades near $2.26, roughly 97 percent below its January 2025 peak of $73.43, with market value down to about $617 million from a peak near $15 billion. LAPTOP would need roughly 3.7 times TRUMP's current fully diluted value of about $2.26 billion — or about $2.26 per coin — to trigger that burn condition. Bitcoin trades near $78,780 against its October peak of $126,080.
BeInCrypto data shows every Trump-endorsed token now trades roughly 60 percent below its pre-endorsement price. Barron Trump's crypto fortune reached about $150 million by late 2025, and Trump's financial disclosures showed $1.4 billion from meme coin and crypto deals last year.
No contract address is public yet, and scammers have run this play before. In February 2025, a hacked World Liberty Financial account pushed a fake BARRON meme coin that kept trading even after the scam was exposed. Until Biden or his team posts an address, every LAPTOP token seen should be treated as fake.
The Clarity Act, which would set one rulebook for digital assets and bar officials and their families from profiting from crypto, has stalled in Congress. Its wording would not reach Biden anyway — his father left office in January 2025.
The launch lands inside a weeks-long media run for Biden, who has appeared on podcasts, news shows and his own Substack, at times beside right-wing hosts. Whether the token gains traction will test whether political meme coins can survive beyond the initial hype cycle that saw TRUMP peak near $15 billion in market value before collapsing.
