KBLB already has customers that have received and tested samples. The only thing KBLB needs is for that “up to 25 metric tons annually” facility to actually start actually cranking out metric tons of silk.
The bot is limited by the data that can be inputted. Unfortunately it appears to be missing customer information in its calculation like Polartec, Warwick Mills, SMI, Kings Group / M The Movement, and the unknown medical supplier as well as those “known brands” we’ve been told exist.
There will be no uplist without production and revenue. Nothing else matters. The bot seems to have posted what any company would need overall as opposed to what KBLB itself specifically needs for a successful uplist. The only way I could see an uplist happening before actual production and revenue would be if you had a multinational conglomerate cut a deal with KBLB whereby the conglomerate takes part ownership in KBLB and agrees to 100% fund as many production facilities as KBLB needs and wants going forward. Other than that, we need to wait for this one “up to 25-metric tons annually” facility to crank out some metric tons of silk.
They can sell what they can’t make. But they can’t yet make silk to actually sell. Until that changes, everybody including the bot need to hit the “pause” button on the uplist talk. But once they have actually made and sold their first ton …. we can all shout uplist from the rooftops. Until then, the giant still sleeps until the metric tonnage is released.
Two months away from that Dec. video proclaiming multi-tonnage is coming in 2025 and we haven’t even gotten an update on production outside of the new license. I’m hoping they’ve been producing right along and that there was no pause.
Proof that KBLB can sell silk:
Polartec And Kraig Biocraft Laboratories To Bring First Spider Silk Fabrics To The Performance Apparel Market
(Andover, Mass.) - April 17, 2019 - Polartec, the premium provider of innovative and sustainable textile solutions, and Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (Kraig) (OTC:KBLB), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announce plans to bring to market the first fabrics made from spider silk. Initially developed for specialized military applications, these first-of-their-kind materials made from recombinant spider silk will eventually service the global market for high performance textiles and apparel.
Among the strongest fibers produced in nature, scalable and cost-effective production of spider silk represents a ‘holy grail’ of material science. Kraig possesses the exclusive right to use patented spider silk gene sequences in silkworms, which is the first way to mass produce these fibers cost effectively and responsibly. (Spiders cannot be raised in colonies and competitors rely on genetically engineered E.coli bacteria to make silk, which produces high levels of carbon dioxide in addition to being cost prohibitive.)
“Teaming with an industry leader such as Polartec is a real endorsement of our proprietary approach to unlocking the potential of commercially-produced spider silk,” says Kim Thompson, Kraig Laboratories founder and CEO. “Kraig believes that spider silk, with its superior mechanical characteristics, has the potential to surpass the current generation of high performance fibers.”
These fully renewable, biodegradable and biocompatible ‘super fibers’ are thin, lightweight, flexible, resilient, extraordinarily strong, and display strength-to-weight ratios more comparable to aramid fibers than other current performance fibers. In apparel applications, the possibilities of recombinant spider silks are particularly exciting, realizing unprecedented combinations of physical properties such as luxurious feel and breathable comfort with top durability.
In joint development since 2016, Polartec and Kraig are applying the performance characteristics of spider silk into yarns for military-grade textiles.
“This project combines two of our most important innovation missions: providing best-in-class textiles to our Nation’s military personnel, and our investment in a fully biodegradable product line,” says Gary Smith, Polartec CEO. “Our partnership with Kraig has the potential to be as revolutionary as when we created the first performance fabrics made from post-consumer recycled plastics in 1993.”
Polartec recently announced its Polartec Eco-Engineering™ commitment to using 100 percent biodegradable and recycled materials across its entire product line through another partnership with Unifi and CiCLO. For example, this new standard for sustainable textiles will include the creation of the world’s first fully recycled and biodegradable fleece, other knits, insulation fills and breathable waterproof fabrics.

I spent some time on ai, scanning for red flags all of the press releases from Dec. 23rd on.
Here are the results:
12/23 Conclusion:
The press release does successfully highlight some real achievements in production and scientific progress, but it lacks specifics and actionable details that would make investors more confident in the company’s near-term future. Specifically, the absence of tangible contracts, sales agreements, or clear revenue implications makes it difficult to fully gauge whether KBLB is truly ready for commercial scale or still struggling with early-stage operations.
The optimistic tone and lack of transparency about the company’s financials or actual commercial commitments raise potential red flags, suggesting that KBLB might be trying to keep up investor interest without delivering hard facts.
What KBLB Needs:
More Specific Production Numbers: For instance, how many units were sold, and how much revenue was generated?
Signed Contracts or Partnership Announcements: Clear business relationships would solidify the claim of entering new markets.
Timeline for Commercialization: Specific timelines (e.g., “We expect to ship our first commercial batch of product X by Q2 2025”) would give investors more confidence.
1/7 Conclusion:
The press release includes positive technical advancements in the form of a new transgenic spider silk material inspired by Darwin’s bark spider. However, it still has key weaknesses when it comes to commercial validation and scalability.
Areas Needing Improvement:
Clear Partnerships or Commercial Deals: The lack of any real customer or partner mentions makes it difficult to gauge how these new breakthroughs will translate into actual sales.
Production Scaling Details: The company needs to offer more clarity about how it plans to scale production to meet demand and whether it has the facilities to produce at the “metric ton” level.
Financial Transparency: Investors need to see financials or projections linked to these breakthroughs. Without it, the press release may only attract short-term speculative interest.
1/21 Conclusion:
The $10 million SEPA provides Kraig Biocraft Laboratories with the necessary capital to expand production and move toward commercialization of its spider silk fibers. While the partnership with Yorkville offers flexibility, there are some concerns regarding dilution and reliance on external funding. Investors should carefully consider:
Areas to Watch:
1. Share Dilution: The SEPA could lead to dilution, so keep an eye on stock price and the issuance of new shares.
2. Revenue Growth: The company’s ability to generate significant revenue from its expanded production in the coming year will be key to assessing its long-term sustainability.
3. Commercial Partnerships: Monitoring the development of new products and strategic partnerships will provide insight into how well KBLB is transitioning from R&D to marketable goods.
1/23 Conclusion:
Kraig Labs securing an investment license in Vietnam positions the company for significant expansion of its spider silk production capabilities. However, several key risks remain:
Areas to Watch:
1. Demand Realization: The company must prove that the growing requests for materials translate into real commercial contracts and revenue generation.
2. Execution of Expansion: Watch for updates on how well Kraig Labs executes the development of rearing facilities and scaling production in Vietnam. Delays or challenges could affect growth.
3. International Operations Risks: Keep an eye on potential risks related to international production and trade issues in Vietnam.
2/10 Conclusion:
While Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ development of a caddisfly-based transgenic fiber holds immense potential, it is still in the early stages, and there are several risks associated with its scalability, market entry, and competition. These risks need to be closely monitored, particularly around production challenges, market validation, and the execution of strategic partnerships. If the company can overcome these hurdles, the new technology could provide a significant advantage in the bioengineering materials space, but the road ahead may be fraught with challenges. The release of this PR after the others is likely part of a larger strategy to maximize investor confidence, media coverage, and competitive positioning. By tying the scientific achievement to financial and operational advancements, Kraig Labs is presenting itself as a company with not only strong innovation but also the financial and infrastructural support to make those innovations a commercial reality. This release serves to showcase the company’s ongoing growth, attracting more interest from both investors and potential business partners.

Dodge the actual point. Expected. You copy-paste the same tired “concerns” about production every cycle, get called out for it, and instead of addressing the substance, you deflect with a weak personal jab. Classic Dimes maneuver (aka The Dimes Way).
"I don't think" means I'm not stating a fact? That's exactly what i pointed out. Lol. But let's look at how now you’re playing the plausible deniability game. But when your spinning FUD, suddenly your words are meant to be taken as absolute truth? Pick a lane. SMH
And, if I need "remedial language lessons," what does that say about the guy whose entire troll career consists of ambiguous, hedge-heavy statements like "I think," "It seems like," and "Possibly"? If anyone’s struggling with clarity, it’s the dude whose entire shtick is strategic vagueness.
Bro, you sat in your troll cave, scribbled notes, stared at the ceiling, and this was the best you could come up with? Rookie-level deflection. Try again.
