This is the thing the June 24th shareholder letter called “establishing operations in Japan.”

KULR Co., Ltd. is a Japanese subsidiary of NYSE American: KULR Technology Group, Inc.

Address on the site:

Roppongi Hills Mori Tower 16F, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-6108, Japan

What they are selling in Japanese, in their words:

• Grid storage stations they build and operate. Published class: 2MW / 8MWh. Markets: JEPX, supply-demand adjustment, capacity market.
• Energy-as-a-Service: KULR owns the box, city/facility hosts it, KULR does O&M. Buy option exists.
• Mobile unit Enesilience: 140.08 kWh LFP, 2.8t trailer, 4-pack to ~560 kWh, CHAdeMO + NACS 120kW, 4G/5G + Starlink. Disaster / BCP / jobsite / EV charge. EaaS, not a capex dump on the city.
• Packs, BMS (4S–24S, sell standalone), thermal/safety. 90+ cell library. Enesilience chose LFP for safety + life.

Why it matters anyway:

• “Foothold” is no longer a slide. It’s a Japan KK + a Japanese product SKU + a Tokyo address.
• Japan commercial beachhead is storage / municipal EaaS / BCP, which is the same EaaS muscle as Caban, pointed at JEPX and city halls.
• NACS on a Japan trailer is a small tell they designed this to talk to both local CHAdeMO and US-spec EVs.

KULR Chat is back (not on Reddit)

Reddit took the old 'KULR Chat!' away, so we stood one up on our own server at kulr.live/chat — live rooms, nicks, the works, and we can ship updates whenever we need to.

Come set a nick and start typing.

Let’s see if we can get the room going again.

While you’re there, the rest of kulr.live has been updated too — live tape, volume vs a typical day, Signal from official channels, and the rest of the deck. Chat is the main invite; the site is the bonus.

https://preview.redd.it/rrccf2snbslh1.png?width=106&format=png&auto=webp&s=89067c582db1897059b16787ae5c837d6921c5fd

Chat is available directly through this URL: https://kulr.live/chat

https://preview.redd.it/xl60ekmwcslh1.png?width=218&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b70fc58eb2e3cdc6a1e9594041ce344500e8d07

Or you can access it through the new header on KULR Nexus: https://kulr.live

What’s new on kulr.live

• KULR Chat is back — set a nick, talk in #kulr, use the expression row (clap / wave / gasp / etc.); chat has its own load screen if you open it direct; drag the size bar so the input stays on screen on phone.
• Premarket & After Hours pricing are both live and accurate — price, volume, and the Overall Market traffic signal (top right) track real premarket and after-hours data.
• After-hours and holidays — AH last and AH volume track from the tape like premarket; bold Pre-market / After-hours status rows; holiday/closed states read cleanly.
• Last sync on the quote row — clock lock sits with last price and change so you always know when the deck refreshed.
• Share volume vs a typical day — ranking uses recent completed sessions; Pre / regular / after-hours volume stay clear; combined day total, median, and vs-avg % line up. Today on the week row is full-day volume and stands out with its own color pulse.
• Tape tightened — top stats on one line; Time & Sales newest-first with click-to-inspect charts; Altitude Board then Session Meter raised; Short Interest lives under Tape; Thesis Health added to The Cupola.
• Session meter — hover to peek, click to lock a bar, Clear or Esc to release (no auto-lock popup).

Took some time today with Grok Build and turned the old kulr.live (from the Reddit chat era) into a real working site I plan to use myself for tracking key data points.

Hi Reddit,

For years, I've been focused on one of the biggest challenges in batteries: how do you bring next-generation battery technology to commercial scale?

Next Thursday, August 27, I'll be here with Raimund Koerver, our SVP of Commercial, from 12:30–1:30 PM ET to talk about exactly that.

Over the past year, we've made meaningful progress across real-world testing, manufacturing collaborations, and our first commercial aerospace battery order. These milestones reflect our progress from early-stage development toward industrialization and commercial deployment, and the work it takes to scale solid-state battery technology across different applications.

That's what we want to talk about with you.

Ask us about the technology. Ask us about manufacturing and scale. Ask us where we see solid-state batteries going next and bring the hard questions, too.

Submit your questions below or join us live on August 27.

Forward-looking statements apply. See ir.factorialenergy.com.

Factorial Energy Q2 Earnings Call Highlights

Written by MarketBeat, August 11, 2026

https://preview.redd.it/6ryx41jda7kh1.png?width=1181&format=png&auto=webp&s=636d286cbb214a8a66c413fbd373575f6f089a9e

This is a follow-up to the December 28, 2024 post that first highlighted the Viridi Parente application naming KULR’s TRS technology:
KULR confirmed as key to Viridi RPS150 fail-safe energy system

The application discussed there has now been granted.

Timeline

Granted patent details

• Patent No.: US 12,712,222 B2
• Title: Stacking Frame and Cooling System for Battery Cells
• Assignee: Viridi Parente, Inc., Buffalo, NY
• Inventors: Phillip Partin, Noah S. Podolefsky, John Paul Vance, Jan-Roger Linna
• Filed: September 21, 2022
• Prior Publication: US 2024/0097236 A1 (March 21, 2024)
• Term: Extended 934 days under 35 U.S.C. 154(b)
• 13 claims, 11 drawing sheets, 17 pages

Key language carried into the granted patent (Summary section):

>“In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the TRS pouches are of a type manufactured by KULR Technology Group, Inc.”

The specification continues to describe the TRS side pouches as water-based coolant + carbon fiber wick in a multilayer metallized sealed plastic pouch that ruptures above 160 °C, with a phenolic spacer plate between dual pouches to create a thermal barrier. The stacking frames retain the pouches, provide peripheral grooves for module enclosure, mating structures, and chimneys for effluent venting. The system is described as an anti-propagation design that isolates a thermal runaway event to a single module.

Sources

• Original r/KULR post (Dec 28, 2024): link
• Granted patent listing (Justia): Viridi Parente patents – US 12,712,222
• Published application (for comparison): US 2024/0097236 A1
• USPTO Public Search (search patent number 12712222 or application 17/933966)

The grant converts the previously discussed application into issued U.S. patent rights. The KULR TRS reference remains in the issued specification as the exemplary embodiment.

Today’s significance, explained cleanly:

Until today the document existed only as a published patent application (US 2024/0097236 A1). A published application puts the invention into the public record and can create provisional rights, but it does not give the owner the full legal power to stop others from practicing the claimed invention.

As of August 18, 2026 the USPTO has issued it as U.S. Patent No. 12,712,222 B2.

That changes the status in three concrete ways:

1. Enforceable rights now exist. Viridi Parente holds issued U.S. patent rights on the specific combination of stacking frames + TRS pouches described in the claims. They can exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing that claimed system in the United States for the remaining patent term (subject to the normal rules and any future challenges).
2. The claims are fixed. After examination, the allowed claims are now locked in. The patent is no longer a pending application that could still be amended or abandoned.
3. The KULR reference is part of an issued patent. The sentence naming “KULR Technology Group, Inc.” as the manufacturer of the exemplary TRS pouches survived the entire examination process and is now permanently part of the official issued specification. It is not just language from a published application; it is language in a granted U.S. patent.

In short: the design that was first discussed here in December 2024 as a pending application is now a granted, enforceable U.S. patent, and the explicit reference to KULR’s TRS as the preferred embodiment remains in that issued document.

Great DD. Kati 2 here we come?? 😳🧐

New post from X: “”Microsoft Research Cites Soluna – Still Another Puzzle Piece Pointing to Microsoft as Kati 2’s Potential Tenant?

The Microsoft–Soluna trail just got considerably more interesting.

The biggest new detail isn’t simply that Microsoft Research is studying an infrastructure model that looks like Soluna’s.

Microsoft’s researchers explicitly cite Soluna in the research itself.”” https://x.com/perspez/

KULR reports Q2 results tomorrow, Thursday, August 13, after the close. Call is at 4:30 p.m. ET. Results will be released prior to the call.

https://kulr.ai/kulr-technology-group-sets-second-quarter-2026-earnings-call-for-thursday-august-13-2026-at-430-p-m-et

Here is what has changed since the Q1 release on May 14.

Leadership

Exact timeline

• April 28, 2026: Board overhauled by majority stockholder consent. Four directors removed (including then-CFO Shawn Canter from the board). Ben Frank (Director of Workforce AI Solution Engineering at Microsoft) and Dr. Michael Kimel appointed as directors. Board reduced to three members with majority independence. April 28 PR
• May 14, 2026: Q1 earnings call. Kimel had been on the board for 16 days and was already serving as Audit Committee Chair.
• May 22, 2026: Shawn Canter resignation as CFO became effective.
• June 9, 2026: Dr. Michael Kimel appointed CFO and resigned from the board the same day. Steven Perez (enterprise sales leadership at Twilio, prior Salesforce/LinkedIn roles) appointed independent director and Audit Committee Chair. June 9 PR

Kimel has now been continuously involved for 107 days (April 28 → August 13). As CFO specifically he has been in the seat for 65 days heading into the Q2 call, with ownership of the Operating Discipline Framework (pricing, margins, capital allocation, cost structure).

Dr. Michael Philip Kimel – relevant background
Age 56. Ph.D. in Economics from UCLA.

• Founder & CEO of Pricimetrics (pricing and profit-maximization analytics firm) since July 2019
• Senior Vice President of Pricing and Analytics, OmniSource United (2018–2019)
• Senior Director of Pricing and Market Analytics, Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas (2014–2018)
• Director of Pricing / General Manager – Online, Sears Holdings (2012–2014)
• Earlier pricing, analytics, and strategy roles at FirstEnergy, Alltel Communications, and PricewaterhouseCoopers

Career focus has been improving margins, optimizing pricing frameworks, and building disciplined financial and operating systems. He was already Audit Committee Chair at KULR before moving into the CFO role.

While the Microsoft board addition has received attention, the more direct operational change is a pricing-and-margin specialist who already knew the books as Audit Chair and has now held the CFO seat for 65 days.

Manufacturing & Capacity

Forge-2 is operational at 12552 State Highway 3, Suite 160, Webster, TX. Address confirmed.

The facility is running automated and semi-automated production lines with capacity for multiple shifts. Stated output targets: 150 MW annual drone battery capacity or up to 50 MWh telecom/grid storage. KULR site

Active on-site interviewing is already underway at the facility.

This is the production footprint supporting the ramp disclosed on the Q1 call toward 10,000 battery packs per month.

New Product?

Manufacturing leadership is also now listing USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) alongside UAV when describing capacity and quality hiring needs. This would represent a different product branch from the existing full-ocean-depth KULR ONE Tritan / K1T platform (pressure-tolerant, 6,000–8,000 PSI, multi-kWh subsea packs already delivered). No formal product announcement has been made.

Website

KULR launched a redesigned website (kulr.ai) that was first publicly noted on June 23, 2026 — 40 days after the Q1 earnings call. The new site emphasizes U.S. NDAA-compliant manufacturing, the Forge facilities, multi-shift production capacity, and the physical AI / energy-systems platform positioning.

A more detailed products page was also added as part of the refresh. For a full breakdown of the product architecture and variants, see the earlier deep-dive: KULR Products Page Deep Dive.

Hiring

Open house this Saturday, August 15, 8 AM – 4 PM at the Forge-2 facility (12552 SH-3, Suite 160, Webster, TX) for Assembler I, Assembler II, and Mechanical Engineering Technicians. Walk-ins and on-the-spot interviews. LinkedIn

Bottom Line

These are the concrete post-Q1 changes now in place:

• New CFO with 65 days in the seat (107 total days of continuous involvement)
• Forge-2 confirmed, multi-shift capable, and already staffing
• Post-Q1 website refresh that emphasizes manufacturing and platform positioning
• Active hiring directly from the new production floor
