Anyone who knows someone on Ozempic or Mounjaro knows the weekly routine of taking a pen out of the refrigerator and pushing a needle into the stomach, and most other peptides still reach people the same way. The Precision Peptide Company (CSE: $BPC) (OTCQB: $PNGAF) is replacing that routine with peptide patches that stick to the skin like a bandage and deliver a measured dose without a syringe or a refrigerator. PNGAF has four of those patches in its line with the first alre

Every trailer, streaming series, and TV ad is made to move an audience, and before release the studio or brand behind it shows it to test viewers and asks what they thought. People are bad at reporting their own reactions, though, and a viewer who swears a scene held them may have stopped paying attention halfway through it. When those answers are wrong, the company paying for the content finds out after the money is spent, with a film that empties theaters or a campaign that

The AI boom has moved from chatbots into machines that do physical work, from the delivery robots rolling through restaurants to the million drones the Pentagon is working toward. Each of those machines needs a company on the ground to place it, run it, and keep it charged, and AIBotics (OTCID: $AIBT) is building its business around doing that work with robots, drones, and mapping. All three came together in Jamaica when AIBT closed its acquisition of the operating assets of

Nearly every paved road in America is asphalt, and when a road gets repaved, more than 95% of the old surface is ground up and recycled into new roadway surfaces. Verde Resources (OTCQB: $VRDR) adds engineered biochar to the recycled mix, turning a repaved road into a place to store carbon that can earn carbon removal credits. The biochar behind it has now passed independent verification, and its carbon numbers sit in ASTM International's public library for any road builder o

Anyone who shares a streaming account with their family knows the nightly scroll past show after show in search of something the whole room can watch together, and one of the biggest hits in streaming came from a series built to end that search. The Chosen began as a crowdfunded series about the life of Jesus that streamed on its own app, and over five seasons it has drawn more than 300 million viewers around the world. A following that size brought in Amazon (NASDAQ: $AMZN),

Every time a customer taps a card, the companies running that payment take a small cut, and collecting it across millions of transactions is how payment companies grew into some of the largest businesses in finance. Inside gentlemen's clubs, a growing share of the night's spending now skips that system entirely, sent from customer to entertainer through apps like Venmo and Cash App, meaning the venue sees none of it. Tradewinds Universal (OTCID: $TRWD) has acquired a platform

When we covered UNLOCKD Inc. (OTCID: $BFCH) in August, the company had just packed the Morning Magic mushroom coffee from its Ancient Extracts brand into K-Cups and was lining up EVERMIND, its cognitive formulation, as the next product to reach the store. Now BFCH has made its next move, a binding letter of intent to acquire 1ENERGY, a two-ounce energy shot sold under the line "Energy Without the Edge." The acquisition will bring the portfolio the company has been describing

The most stressed-out customer in America is a parent trying to pry a tablet out of a four-year-old's hands, and Gen 2 Technologies (OTCID: $MNIZ) just changed hands to go after that customer. New management's first move was buying PlayPal outright, the company's screen-free AI companion for children ages 3 to 8, with the patent assignment executed and headed to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The device is designed to see whatever toy a child picks up and buil

Venezuela holds more proven oil than any country on earth, roughly 303 billion barrels, and until nine months ago American money couldn't touch a drop of it. That ended when the United States military pulled Nicolás Maduro out of power, and on Friday Washington announced a deal handing it control of more than 65 billion of those barrels. President Trump wants that crude in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which a year of wartime releases has left at its lowest level since 198

When we last covered UNLOCKD Inc. (OTCID: $BFCH) in October, the company was mostly promise, a new name over a cleaned-up structure with its first brand still in development and nothing on a shelf to sell. Ten months later it owns Ancient Extracts USA, a botanical wellness brand it acquired in May that was already selling through Amazon, TikTok Shop, Meta and its own store. The brand's Morning Magic mushroom coffee has since come off the line in K-Cups, and the pods are for s

The AI buildout is running out of places to put its buildings, with more than 300 cities, towns and counties having banned or paused hyperscale data centers and $130 billion of projects blocked or delayed in the first quarter alone. The buildout's four biggest spenders, Amazon (NASDAQ: $AMZN), Microsoft (NASDAQ: $MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ: $GOOGL) and Meta (NASDAQ: $META), still plan to spend roughly $725 billion on that infrastructure this year, up 77% from a record 2025, and

When we last talked about Premergy (OTCID: $IHAI), the company held 22 granted patents on the control layer above battery chemistry, and the open question was what anyone would pay for them. The industry has been making the case on its own, since Tesla (NASDAQ: $TSLA) earns better margins selling stored electricity than it does selling cars, and Ford (NYSE: $F), LG Energy Solution (KRX: 373220) and Samsung SDI (OTC: $SSDIY) are converting EV manufacturing capacity to chase th

Anyone who has spent time in the OTC market knows the beverage pitch, and knows how many of them end at a rendered label and a press release about ongoing distributor conversations. Food Culture Inc. (OTCID: $FCUL) broke from that script in June and put real bottles on Canadian shelves while the 2026 tournament was still being played, seven months after the acquisition of Distill Brands International (DBI) that turned it into a spirits company. The model it is running belongs

Every battery ever built forces the same trade-off between energy density for endurance and power output for performance, because the electrode design that stores the most charge is the same one that slows its release. Nearly two decades and tens of billions of dollars have gone into solid state, silicon anode, and sodium ion looking for a chemistry that does both, and none of it has produced one. Premergy (OTCID: $IHAI) holds granted patents that solve the problem from outsi

There is a very short list of OTC-listed companies approaching $100 million in real assets inside their first year of a build. Pride Holdings Group (OTCQB: $PHSE), the only publicly traded LGBTQ+ hospitality rollup, is one of them. When we first covered PHSE back in March, CEO Mike Barrett was on Buffalo Fireside Chats comparing the company to an iceberg with maybe 30% of it above water, running gay bars, clubs, and hotels across four countries anchored by Aqua Nightclub in K

Anyone who has spent time in the OTC market knows the roll-up pitch, and knows how few of them ever amount to more than a press release and a plan. Affluence Corporation (OTCID: $AFFU) is turning that narrative on its head, assembling a global Industrial IoT and smart-infrastructure group. Its president, Oscar Brito, co-founded iQSTEL (NASDAQ: $IQST) in 2018, back when it was doing $13.8 million a year, and more than a dozen acquisitions later that company trades on the Nasda

A company posting the biggest profits in its history while its stock gets cheaper by the month is a company the market expects the spending to bury. Meta was that company in 2022, losing two thirds of its value before returning more than fivefold in under two years once the spending dialed back. Now, that same setup sits inside three companies that more or less own the current AI economy. Nearly everything in AI runs on rented computing, and the three companies that sell it c

Artificial intelligence has a problem that no algorithm can solve, and that problem is electricity. Every new data center, every training run, every real time query draws power on a scale that is beginning to strain the grids that feed it, and the companies building the AI economy are now hunting for energy wherever they can find it. So when Jensen Huang, the founder of NVIDIA (NASDAQ: $NVDA), walked through his vision for that energy future on the GTC keynote stage this year

The EV supply chain is being rebuilt around automation and AI, and the equipment makers one layer beneath the automakers are turning into some of the most valuable companies in manufacturing. Ladybug Resource Group, Inc. (OTCID: $LBRG) just bought its way into that layer, acquiring Guangzhou JingDiao Automotive Equipment Manufacturing in April and becoming a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier to globally recognized automotive brands in South China's equipment corridor. The operation

The biggest contracts in defense move through a small set of giant contract vehicles, multi-year programs that route tens of billions of dollars in government work to a short list of approved contractors. NAPC Defense, Inc. (OTCID: $BLIS) holds positions on two of them, and in April it brought in more than $1.4 million in contract payments, its first seven-figure month and the leading edge of a much deeper book of government work. Roughly $38.1 million of that work is already
