Hunter Biden confirmed that a memecoin tied to his laptop, trading under the ticker $LAPTOP, will launch on Sept. 9, posting the ticker and the launch date to his verified X account along with a clip from a Fox News segment. The post appeared shortly after The Wall Street Journal published a story about the launch, and it drew 250,900 views within an hour, according to The Defiant. According to the tokenomics described by The Wall Street Journal, the project is built around a political-content distribution, with 1 billion total tokens. The plan includes a fifth of the supply for airdrops that cover eligible wallets holding losses on TRUMP, a memecoin issued in President Trump’s name three days before his second inauguration, which the story says now trades 97% below its record. The described allocations also include 30% for the founding team, locked for six months after launch and then released over the next two years. The remainder includes 20% for airdrops across two rounds and another 20% for liquidity, exchange listings and legal costs, while up to 30% is earmarked for burns tied to named events, including bitcoin setting a record and LAPTOP passing TRUMP’s market value. The launch post did not include a contract address, website, or launch venue, and The Defiant says token copycats emerged quickly after the Journal’s report, with at least 14 LAPTOP-branded tokens appearing on other networks within about an hour. It also reports that none of the copycats launched on Base and none were scheduled for Sept. 9, and that the copycat tokens traded $6.9 million between them by 15:45 UTC.
