Hunter Biden is launching his own cryptocurrency, The Wall Street Journal reports. The meme coin, called $LAPTOP, will have 1 billion tokens.
Biden and other founders are expected to receive nearly a third of the coins, but will wait six months before selling. According to the report, referenced by The New York Post, Biden may set aside 20% of the $LAPTOP coins for those who lost money on President Trump’s $TRUMP coin.
The former president’s son has also recently launched a Substack to publish a series of writings about “the last seven years,” including an entry titled “The Laptop” that disputes the origins and authenticity of the device that led to a federal criminal investigation and years of congressional scrutiny.
Hunter Biden acknowledged in the essay that the laptop did contain evidence of his addiction. “Twenty years of my life, or a version of it. Messages sent at hours that don’t belong to anyone sober. Photographs I would never have taken in daylight,” he wrote.
“Over on Substack I’m writing about the last seven years of my life. It’s the first draft of the whole story. All of it,” Hunter Biden posted on X, promoting his first installment alongside a video series he is calling “Where’s Hunter?”
Biden was also recently interviewed by Tucker Carlson, where he called President Trump an “existential threat” to the United States and later discussed his laptop. “They hacked my cloud,” Biden told Carlson, adding, “There’s no possible way all of the information that was eventually labeled as my laptop came from one laptop. It’s way too large.” He went on to claim that “not one single thing of criminal activity other than use of drugs and all of the things that are associated with addiction is proved by the laptop.”
