Hunter Biden Will Launch the LAPTOP Memecoin on the Base Network

• Hunter Biden announced the launch of the LAPTOP memecoin for September 9.
• The token will be issued on the Base network with a total supply of 1 billion LAPTOP.
• Project founders, including Biden, will receive 30% of the issuance.
• Some tokens will be distributed to users who lost funds on the TRUMP memecoin.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is preparing to launch his own memecoin, LAPTOP. The Wall Street Journal reported this, citing sources familiar with the project.

Biden himself confirmed the launch on X. On September 7, he posted a video featuring clips from TV segments about the story of his laptop and gave the date — September 9.

The memecoin will use the ticker LAPTOP and will launch on the Base network. Total supply will be 1 billion tokens. Founders, including Biden, will receive 30% of the issuance. These assets cannot be sold during the first six months, and the full vesting schedule runs for two years.

Another 20% of the supply is planned to be distributed in two stages. Recipients will include, among others, users who lost money on U.S. President Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin, as well as subscribers to Biden’s Substack and the newsletter of video journalist Andrew Callaghan.

In addition, the project terms provide for the option to burn or donate up to 30% of the supply to charity if certain events occur. The remaining tokens will be allocated to liquidity, charity, and operating expenses.

The name LAPTOP references one of the most high-profile scandals involving Hunter Biden, which erupted ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

What Is Known About Hunter Biden’s Laptop?

The story drew widespread attention on October 14, 2020, when the New York Post published a report based on data allegedly obtained from Biden’s laptop. According to the owner of a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, the device was left with him in April 2019 and was never picked up. In December of that same year, the laptop and a storage drive were seized by FBI agents.

The authenticity of the published dataset remained disputed for a long time due to an unclear chain of custody. In March 2022, experts engaged by The Washington Post were able to cryptographically verify the authenticity of nearly 22,000 emails. At the same time, the experts stressed that it was impossible to verify a significant portion of the dataset they received because the data had been copied multiple times and accessed by third parties.

Later, an independent forensic review commissioned by CBS News examined a copy of the data that the repair shop owner’s attorney said was identical to the one provided to the FBI. The specialists found no signs of forgery or tampering with user data.

In June 2024, the laptop itself was presented by prosecutors as evidence in the federal trial against Hunter Biden in the gun purchase case. An FBI agent said investigators linked the device to Biden, including by matching its serial number to data from his iCloud account.

At the same time, Biden continues to dispute a number of claims about the origin and chain of custody of the published data. In July 2026, he laid out his version of events in a separate Substack piece, The Laptop.
