KULR Technology Group has become the latest company to adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy, announcing the acquisition of 217.18 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $21 million.
In a December 26 post shared on X, the firm revealed the purchase was made at an average price of $96,556.53 per BTC.
An accompanying press release revealed that the buy was the first in a series of planned purchases as part of the New York Stock Exchange-listed company’s broader financial strategy.
In the statement, KULR also noted that it has partnered with Coinbase Prime to receive institutional and self-custodial wallet services for its BTC and to be supplied with USDC.
The firm first announced its Bitcoin treasury strategy on December 4, outlining plans to allocate up to 90% of its surplus cash into the cryptocurrency.
KULR Chairman and CEO Michael Mo highlighted the company’s belief in Bitcoin’s long-term potential, saying:
He further elaborated on the cryptocurrency’s unique characteristics, describing it as a safeguard against inflationary, geopolitical, and macroeconomic challenges while offering long-term appreciation.
The executive expressed confidence that this strategy would strengthen KULR’s financial position, expand operations, and establish a resilient financial reserve.
The company specializes in energy storage and management solutions. According to Google Finance data, its stock price responded positively to the news, rising by 40.35% over the last 24 hours.
KULR’s Bitcoin acquisition is part of a broader trend of companies embracing crypto as a key component of their financial strategies. Recently, Rumble, the popular online video streaming platform, announced plans to allocate some of its surplus cash into the number one virtual currency. In line with this, the company has set a target of up to $20 million for its BTC investments.
Similarly, Genius Group, a firm focused on artificial intelligence, disclosed a $4 million Bitcoin purchase, bringing its stack to 153 coins. This was after the company revealed plans to embrace a “Bitcoin-first” strategy, allocating 90% or more of its reserves to the trillion-dollar cryptocurrency to capitalize on its potential as a long-term store of value.
Other companies, including Semler Scientific and Japan’s Metaplanet, have expanded their holdings to leverage Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. MicroStrategy, which pioneered the strategy, remains the largest holder of the asset among publicly traded companies, with its stash of 444,262 BTC worth an estimated $42.8 billion at current prices.
