KULR Technology Group has demonstrated a strong commitment to Bitcoin by adding to its holdings. The company recently purchased an additional 213.4 BTC for $21 million, integrating the cryptocurrency further into its balance sheet. This move aligns with KULR Technology’s strategic goal of holding up to 90% of its cash in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Investment Strategy
The recent purchase, executed on January 5th via Coinbase Prime, increased KULR Technology’s total Bitcoin holdings to 430.6 BTC. The average purchase price for these holdings is approximately $97,537 per Bitcoin. This latest investment follows a similar move in December, where the company acquired 217.18 BTC for $21 million at an average price of $96,556 per Bitcoin. With these consecutive purchases, KULR has solidified its Bitcoin-first strategy, leveraging the cryptocurrency as a key component of its financial strategy.
According to KULR Technology CEO Michael Mo, the company views Bitcoin as a valuable hedge against ongoing global inflation. On X (formerly Twitter), Mo stated, “The distinct characteristics of BTC entail prospects for further serious interest and would stand guard against developing current events such as geopolitics, inflation, and any other macro-and political events impacting the developed economies.” Bitcoin’s limited supply of 21 million units strengthens its appeal to companies exploring strategies to protect their assets against economic instability.
Growing Trend of Bitcoin Adoption
KULR Technology’s adoption of a Bitcoin-first strategy reflects a broader trend among companies embracing cryptocurrency. This strategy, pioneered by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, is gaining momentum within the corporate world. MicroStrategy, along with Elon Musk’s Tesla, are prominent examples of companies incorporating Bitcoin into their treasury strategies. The issuer of the world’s leading stablecoin, Tether, has also increased its Bitcoin holdings, adding 8,404.5 BTC, valued at nearly $780 million, to bring its total reserves to 83,759 BTC, worth approximately $7.75 billion.
Other companies, such as Genius Group, are also embracing this strategy. Genius Group invested $4 million to bring its Bitcoin holdings to 153 units, allocating at least 90% of its cash reserves into Bitcoin. Japan’s Metaplanet and Semler Scientific have also expanded their Bitcoin reserve holdings.
MicroStrategy’s Influence
MicroStrategy leads the charge in adopting a Bitcoin-first strategy and is currently the largest Bitcoin holder among traded companies, with a stash of 444,262 BTC valued at approximately $42.8 billion. The trend reflects a growing recognition of Bitcoin’s value and legitimacy.
KULR Technology Group, established in 2013 and based in San Diego, develops hi-tech thermal management solutions across multiple sectors, including electric vehicles and aerospace. The company is focused on innovation and seeks collaborations with companies in need of high-performance energy solutions.
