KULR Technology Group Inc., an American energy management company, made a significant move in the market by purchasing Bitcoin. The company has made a purchase of 217.18 bitcoins (BTC) for $21 million; at average price for each bitcoin was around $96,556.
This purchase is part of the company’s newly launched Bitcoin Treasury strategy, which was introduced earlier this month. It aligns with KULR’s plan to allocate up to 90% of its extra cash into Bitcoin, marking the first step in the company’s strategy. The company also partnered with Coinbase Prime for custody and other services to securely store its Bitcoin.
The purchase has generated a lot of buzz in the cryptocurrency world, especially since the market is currently facing some turbulence. Despite this volatility, KULR’s large investment suggests that the company is confident in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin’s price had dropped slightly by about 3%, trading at $95,776. Bitcoin’s price has been fluctuating recently, ranging between $95,137 and $99,884.
Nevertheless, experts remain optimistic, with some predicting that Bitcoin could reach $120,000 or even $150,000 by the end of 2024. Peter Brandt, a well-known market analyst, also maintains a bullish outlook, forecasting a price of $108,358 in the near future.
