[CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA] – Kilo Reserve, the only platform in North America offering direct ownership of verified, vault-stored, physical copper, today announced the upcoming launch of its investment platform. This new offering will revolutionize access to the industrial metal by simplifying the acquisition, storage, and management of investment-grade copper for a broad range of investors.

For decades, gaining direct exposure to copper has been difficult, typically limited to complex futures contracts, volatile mining stocks, or opaque commodity funds. Kilo Reserve was built to eliminate these barriers, providing a modern, digital solution for a timeless, tangible asset. The platform’s core mission is to empower investors with complete transparency and true, direct ownership of physical copper.

 

Copper Demand Surges Amid Global Electrification and Renewable Energy Growth

The world's transition toward electrification, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure has placed copper at the center of a historic demand supercycle, and supply cannot keep pace. According to S&P Global, a significant supply gap is forecasted to widen to 6–10 million metric tons by 2035, cementing copper's role as a critical, long-term asset.

 

CEO Allen Cates Highlights Copper as a Hedge Against Inflation and Market Volatility

“We believe a strategic asset as critical as copper should be accessible to everyone,” said Allen Cates, CEO of Kilo Reserve. “Copper serves as a powerful portfolio diversifier and a tangible hedge against inflation, making it an essential component for any forward-looking portfolio. Our platform is for investors who want to own a real-world solution, combining the simplicity of modern financial technology with the security of a tangible, vault-stored asset.”

 

Seamless Digital Dashboard Offers 24/7 Transparency for Copper Ownership

The Kilo Reserve platform handles all the complexities of physical commodity ownership. The company’s commitment to transparency allows users to see the vault, review the audit, and track their holdings 24/7 through a seamless digital dashboard. This modern approach bridges the gap between traditional assets and the convenience of digital investing.
