OTC Squawk, which opened to the public in August, has shipped a steady run of major updates designed for the way OTC traders work. Five heat maps show what's moving across the OTC market through the trading day, ranked by dollar volume, so a stock that jumps 40% on a few hundred dollars of trading doesn't light up, but one with real money behind the move does. A live tape of SEC filings, press releases, and FINRA corporate actions across the whole OTC market is available, plus BREAKING alerts sent via push notification. The platform also lays out dilution: shares outstanding against authorized, and a timeline of every convertible note, warrant, and preferred share in two years of SEC filings that can turn into stock, each linked to the filing it came from. One tap on any filing gives an AI summary, with the original always one tap away. Squawk Talk puts live audio rooms inside Squawk, like an OTC trading floor anyone can walk into, with approved hosts running each room. Anyone signed in can listen, raise a hand and be brought up to speak, while a chat alongside links every ticker and handle mentioned. Rooms are recorded, and replays stay on the host's profile for 90 days. Preflight sends an 8:45 a.m. rundown of followed tickers every market morning.
The launch of Squawktober matters because OTC traders have always had to piece their research together from SEC filings, FINRA notices, OTC Markets data, and scattered message boards. Squawk puts it all on one page: the share structure, the dilution waiting in the filings, plain English filing summaries and the news as it breaks, right next to the traders debating the stock. Squawktober is the invitation to try it. By gamifying stock selection, Metavesco aims to draw new users to the platform, which is free at otcsquawk.com. The company, a publicly traded holding company focused on building infrastructure and opportunity for the OTC market, operates with a long-term, co-owner-aligned philosophy and is committed to supporting the strength, transparency, and integrity of the OTC market. It operates Epic Labor and other wholly owned subsidiaries. Learn more at metavesco.com. More information about potential factors that could affect the business and financial results is included in the Company's filings on otcmarkets.com.
Participants can join and play for free at otcsquawk.com/squawktober. Squawktober is a game. Picks are not recommendations, and nothing in Squawktober or on OTC Squawk is investment advice. AI-written summaries can contain errors and link to their source documents. The contest represents a push to engage the OTC trading community and could signal growing interest in platforms that consolidate fragmented OTC data.
