Claiming the LAPTOP Airdrop at Bitvavo: Who Is Eligible and What to Do by October 10

If you lost more than 1,000 euros on the TRUMP token at Bitvavo, you can have around 200 $LAPTOP credited to you until October 10, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Registration runs manually through a banner in your account, it costs nothing, and anyone who misses the date gets nothing afterwards. This guide shows you who meets the conditions, how the exchange calculates your loss, what the reward is actually worth and how German tax law treats allocations of this kind. An airdrop is the free distribution of crypto assets to a previously defined group of users, usually as a marketing exercise by a project. The $LAPTOP airdrop at Bitvavo is a special form of it: it is aimed exclusively at customers who lost money on one particular other token. According to its own account, Bitvavo set the campaign up together with Phoenix Veritas Ventures Ltd., the company behind the token. How the price collapse that caused those losses in the first place came about, we wrote up on September 10 in our analysis of the crash of the LAPTOP coin. One point up front, because it is the most common misconception: this credit is a promotional gift from the platform and not compensation. What that means in practice is set out further down in the section on the nature of the reward. Who is eligible for the $LAPTOP airdrop: Bitvavo's five conditions In its help centre the exchange names five criteria you have to meet together at the time of verification. If one of them falls away, no claim arises, and the campaign makes no provision for a review of individual cases. You are at least 18 years old. You have an active, fully verified personal account with the provider. Business accounts are therefore out. Your cumulative losses in TRUMP up to and including September 7, 2026 exceed 1,000 euros. You register manually within the campaign period. It runs from September 10, 2026 at 12:00 CEST to October 10, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. You are not classified as a major client. Under the terms of participation, market makers, brokers and liquidity providers are excluded. What is expressly not required According to the exchange, participation is voluntary and free of charge. You have to buy, deposit or trade neither $LAPTOP nor any other cryptocurrency in order to register or to receive the reward. Anyone telling you otherwise, for instance about a supposed unlocking fee, is trying to fleece you. Nor does the campaign require a minimum holding period or a further trade after the credit. The TRUMP token whose losses are at issue here trades at around 1.77 euros on September 19, 2026; the development and the data behind it can be found on our TRUMP price prediction.
