LAPTOP Coin Burns 1% of Supply in Prediction-Based Move
The LAPTOP coin prediction-based burn system removed 1% of its total supply on September 12, 2026. This move is tied to real-world events rather than a fixed release schedule. The burned tokens are worth roughly $3.6 million and came from the locked prediction pool.
When a prediction resolves true, the linked tokens move to a dead wallet on Base and leave circulation forever. When it resolves false, those tokens go to charity instead. This design ties supply reduction to attention and outcomes rather than the calendar.
The first burn event was triggered by two separate predictions resolving true: Eric Trump publicly referencing the token and digital artist Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) doing the same. Each event carried a 0.5% allocation, adding up to a full 1% supply cut.
