What is a butterfly on KULR?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current KULR snapshot
As of May 13, 2026, spot at $4.03, ATM IV 132.00%, IV rank 20.65%, expected move 37.84%. The butterfly on KULR below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 36-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on KULR specifically: KULR IV at 132.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a KULR butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 37.84% (roughly $1.53 on the underlying). The 36-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated KULR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on KULR should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.03 per share and to the trader's directional view on KULR stock.
KULR butterfly setup
The KULR butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With KULR near $4.03, the first option leg uses a $3.83 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed KULR chain at a 36-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 KULR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $3.83 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $4.03 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $4.23 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on KULR
Butterflies on KULR are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect KULR to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
KULR thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for KULR extends from approximately $2.50 on the downside to $5.56 on the upside. A KULR long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if KULR settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current KULR IV rank near 20.65% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on KULR at 132.00%. As a Technology name, KULR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to KULR-specific events.
KULR butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. KULR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move KULR alongside the broader basket even when KULR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current KULR chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on KULR?
- A butterfly on KULR is the butterfly strategy applied to KULR (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With KULR stock trading near $4.03, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed KULR chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are KULR butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the KULR butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 132.00%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a KULR butterfly?
- The breakeven for the KULR butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current KULR market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 37.84%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
