KULR Tech (KULR) Bets Big On Drones While Bitcoin Losses Bite

KULR Technology Group reported a 43% revenue decline to $2.1M in Q2, with a gross loss and $21.97M net loss. The company exited Bitcoin mining, paid off $20M debt, and secured a $5M defense drone battery order. Management expects growth from Pentagon's $1.1B Drone Dominance program, with $70B allocated for drones in 2027. Hedge fund ownership increased despite heavy short interest.
