Multiple outlets reported that Hunter Biden’s memecoin, LAPTOP, was scheduled to launch on Wednesday, Sept. 9, on Base (described as Base Layer 2 by some sources) and that the token’s narrative centered on “resilience, redemption and recovery.” ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}.

Reporting described a supply allocation of 1 billion tokens, with 20% set aside for community airdrops, including wallets that lost money on the TRUMP token, and with other portions tied to political/crypto/cultural predictions ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}.

One outlet described a structure in which 30 publicly identified real-world events would determine whether certain tokens are burned or allocated to charity, and said 30 political forecasts would be linked to the mechanism ^{[3] [4]}.

CoinDesk reported Biden defended the LAPTOP project ahead of the launch, characterizing TRUMP as a “grift,” and said he would give coins to nearly one million wallets that lost money on TRUMP ^[1].

Crypto.news reported that Kraken deleted a promotional post and that Biden defended the LAPTOP memecoin shortly before its Sept. 9 launch on Base ^[2].

MoneyCheck reported that the LAPTOP memecoin launched and that it was airdropping to TRUMP token holders who lost money ^[6].
