Hunter Biden to launch LAPTOP token on Base on Sept. 9 with 1B supply, reports say

Sep 7, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Reports say Hunter Biden plans to launch a token called LAPTOP on Coinbase’s Base network on September 9, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens [1] [2].

One report says 30% of the token allocation would go to a founding team, 20% to investors who lost money trading the Trump-linked token $TRUMP, 20% to charity and operations, and up to 30% could be burned based on predetermined events, including a Democratic victory in the 2028 U.S. presidential election [1].

Crypto Briefing characterized the LAPTOP launch as potentially intensifying political debates and affecting perceptions of cryptocurrency’s role in political narratives [3].

crypto.news also reported that part of the LAPTOP token allocation is set aside for people who lost money trading $TRUMP [2].

Bitcoin Sistemi reported that the LAPTOP token is being prepared for launch on September 9 on the Ethereum Layer-2 network Base, and it described the project as referencing the “Hunter Biden’s laptop” controversy [4].
