Exhibit 99.1
Roundtable Secures Enterprise Technology Platform Partnership
with Mario Nawfal, the World’s #1 Most-Viewed Journalist
LONDON, July 17, 2026 - Roundtable
(Nasdaq: RTB), the only AI-powered, DeFi-enabled enterprise media platform, today announced a comprehensive technology partnership with
Mario Nawfal, whose content generates more than 1 billion monthly video views. Under the partnership, Roundtable will power Nawfal’s
non-social digital platform, marionawfal.com, including publishing, monetization, syndication and business operations through
its fully integrated technology stack.
Nawfal’s legendary portfolio of exclusive, long-form interviews
with global business, technology and political leaders will be distributed through his own domain on Roundtable’s Web3 platform.
His social media presence on X, including 24/7 global news coverage, will remain unchanged. MarioNawfal.com will serve as his owned-and-operated
destination and secure IP vault.
“Roundtable’s platform is undoubtedly transformative
for the professional media industry,” said Nawfal, who has emerged as a major force in global news. “Their technology provides
advantages only DeFi, AI and on-chain publishing can offer. I believe this platform can help restore independence and influence to high-integrity
journalism.”
“The world’s most innovative, passionate, modern journalist
is the perfect partner to unveil the features of the world’s most powerful digital media platform, said Roundtable CEO, James Heckman.
“In a crowded marketplace, Mario has risen to the top, maintaining his civility and objectivity - and so we’re thrilled to
include him with our premium media partners.
“The confidence Roundtable’s team brings, with three
decades of major media technology leadership experience, made the decision to platform MarioNawfal.com on Roundtable simple,” said
Nawfal’s CEO, Wahid Chammis. “Frankly, no other platform provides the full technology stack, and Roundtable was the only company
to invest early enough to fully leverage AI, DeFi and blockchain. As a result, the industry’s most sophisticated media operating
system is positioned to help professional media finally control its own assets and destiny.”

that are characterized by future or conditional words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,”

regarding the timing and effects of the merger transaction and the integration of the business of RTB into the combined post-merger company
and the effects of the overall merger transaction and future operations of the post-merger company. By their nature, forward-looking statements
address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause actual events and results to differ materially
from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements, such as the post-merger company being able to maintain its
listing on Nasdaq for the common stock, having sufficient capital for its operations and planned business expansion, and developing its
business and capturing users for its services. Other risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company’s
