Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the prospectus supplement dated December 31, 2024, USBC, Inc., a Nevada corporation, f/k/a Know Labs, Inc. (the "Company" or "USBC"), entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, ("Jones") as sales agent , may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), having an initial aggregate offering price of up to a maximum of $5,000,000, from time to time, through an "at the market offering" program.

On September 4, 2025, the Company determined to increase the amount available for sale under the Sales Agreement, up to an aggregate offering price of $14,500,000. The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276246) in the amount of $18,000,000 initially filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 22, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2024, the related prospectus supplement, dated December 31, 2024, and the additional prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on the date hereof (the "Additional Prospectus Supplement") in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

Because there is no minimum offering amount required pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the total number of Shares to be sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, and proceeds to the Company, if any, are not determinable at this time. The Company expects to use any net proceeds primarily for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. The Company's management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1, and incorporated by reference to the Additional Prospectus Supplement, is the opinion of the Company's counsel relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement and prospectus supplements.

Since December 31, 2024, the Company has sold 1,708,124 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $1,269,236. The Company's outstanding shares of common stock are 384,234,130 as of September 4, 2025.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

All of the Shares are to be sold by the Company pursuant to the Capital on Demand™ Sales Agreement, dated December 31, 2024, between the Sales Agent and the Company (the "<u>ATM Agreement</u>").

This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act (17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5)) in connection with the Registration Statement, and no opinion is expressed or may be implied herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement other than the opinions expressly set forth below.

We have examined copies of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials, and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter, including (without limitation) the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (as amended to date, the "<u>Articles</u>") and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (as amended to date, the "<u>Bylaws</u>" and, together with the Articles, the "<u>Organizational Documents</u>"),. We have relied upon the foregoing and upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We have assumed for purposes of this opinion that: (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; (b) the accuracy and completeness of all documents delivered to us and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (c) the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (d) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; (e) the legal capacity of all natural persons; (f) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by parties other than the Company; and (g) that the ATM Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligations of each party thereto (other than the Company) enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

We express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full of the consideration for the Shares in accordance with the terms set out in the Prospectus Supplement and ATM Agreement, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We expressly disavow any obligation to advise you with respect to future changes in law or in our knowledge or as to any event or change of condition occurring subsequent to the date of this letter. This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 5, 2025.
