Hunter Biden outlines tokenomics for LAPTOP memecoin ahead of Base launch
Launch announcement
Hunter Biden posted on X that his LAPTOP memecoin will be launched on Wednesday on Base, a Layer‑2 scaling solution for Ethereum. He said the token is meant to symbolize “resilience, redemption, and recovery.”
Key numbers
- Total supply: 1 billion tokens.
- 20 % will be airdropped to the community.
- 30 % linked to 30 real‑world predictions with burn or charity outcomes.
- 30 % allocated to founders, subject to lock‑up and vesting.
- 10 % set for liquidity and 5 % for the foundation treasury.
Details from the X post
The X post explains that at the token‑generation event, 10 % of the supply can be claimed through the Phoenix Veritas Foundation portal. The remaining 10 % of the airdrop will be distributed later at the foundation’s discretion.
Two groups are eligible for the airdrop: investors who lost funds on Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin receive 2 % of the supply, and subscribers of Hunter Biden’s “Where’s Hunter?” Substack receive 8 %.
Tokenomics breakdown
The token’s website and disclosure PDF show that 30 % of the supply is tied to public predictions such as a potential impeachment of Donald Trump or the outcome of the 2026 U.S. congressional elections. If a predicted event occurs, the corresponding tokens are burned; if it does not, the tokens are donated to charity. An additional 50 million tokens are earmarked for charity regardless of outcomes.
Founders, including Hunter Biden, will receive 30 % of the supply after a six‑month lock‑up, followed by a 24‑month vesting schedule. Liquidity provision accounts for 10 % and the foundation treasury 5 % for operational costs.
Confirmed facts
All figures above come directly from Hunter Biden’s X post, the LAPTOP token website, and the official disclosure document.
Unclear aspects
The source does not explain how the remaining 5 % of the supply (outside the categories listed) will be used.
Significance
The memecoin ties political commentary to a token that uses prediction markets for burn‑or‑charity decisions, highlighting a novel way to link real‑world events to cryptocurrency supply.
Next steps
The token is scheduled to launch on Base on Wednesday. Holders will be able to claim the initial airdrop through the Phoenix Veritas portal at the token‑generation event.
