Hunter Biden's Media Blitz Precedes Launch of $LAPTOP Meme Coin Mocking Trump
Hunter Biden is launching a meme coin called $LAPTOP, referencing the infamous laptop from a Delaware repair shop that became a Republican obsession before the 2020 election. The token, available September 9, will have one billion tokens issued. Thirty percent will be held by co-founders who cannot sell for six months, while 20 percent will go to people who lost money on President Trump's $TRUMP meme coin, subscribers to Biden's Substack, and a mailing list curated by journalist Andrew Callaghan. Up to 30 percent of tokens will be destroyed if 30 predetermined outcomes occur within a specified timeframe, including a Democrat winning the White House in 2028 or $LAPTOP's valuation exceeding $TRUMP's. If outcomes don't occur, corresponding tokens go to charity. The remaining 20 percent covers charity, liquidity, and administrative costs. Trump made $1.4 billion from his crypto dealings last year, benefiting from his administration's crypto-friendly policies. Biden has been on a media blitz this summer, including interviews with Mehdi Hasan and Nick Fuentes, to promote the coin.
