However, the project has a token unlock mechanism in place, with all of the founders' supplies to be locked for six months. 35% of the LAPTOP overall supply will be unlocked at launch, with full unlock expected after 36 months.
Interestingly, 30% of the token supply is tied to the outcome of real-world events. If a prediction is correct, 1% of the tokens would be burnt; if wrong, the tokens would go to charity.
There are 30 predictions on topics including Trump's impeachment, Bitcoin reaching a new high, the Democratic Party winning in the House or Senate in 2026, the Clarity Act passing, and others.
Biden Memecoin To Airdrop to TRUMP Investors
Interestingly, the LAPTOP has also set aside 20% of its supply for airdrop, with 10% on Day One and the remainder over time.
Those who will be eligible for the airdrops include subscribers to Hunter Biden Substack and members of the Andrew Callaghan Channel 5 mailing List. Callaghan is a YouTube personality.
However, an interesting group of people is also eligible, those who lost money trading TRUMP memecoin. This appears to be a direct dig at President Donald Trump, whose official memecoin has been in free fall since peaking a few days after launch in 2025.
TRUMP is currently trading at around $2.25, a far cry from its 2025 peak above $70. The token has lost more than 53% of its value in 2025, even though it also gained around 51% in the last 30 days.
