$LAPTOP will trade on the Base ledger under Coinbase Global. The project will issue 1 billion tokens, with 30% held by Hunter Biden and the founders. Another 20% will be distributed to holders who lost money on the $TRUMP meme coin and to subscribers of Hunter Biden's Substack. The remaining tokens will be allocated for liquidity, operations, and a deflationary event burn based on specific real-world triggers. Hunter Biden has previously stated that the laptop contained records of his struggles with addiction. He noted that the files showed evidence of a man who suffered from a severe addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol. He also noted that prosecutors did not find evidence of corruption or crimes beyond drug use related to the laptop.
