## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**HeartCore Signs 16<sup>th</sup> Go IPO Contract**

**NEW YORK and TOKYO, July 2, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTCR)** ("HeartCore" or the "Company")**,** a leading enterprise software and IPO consulting services company based in Tokyo, announced that it has signed an agreement ("Consulting Agreement") with Cipher Core Co., Ltd. ("Cipher Core") for its 16<sup>th</sup> Go IPO consulting service win.

As compensation for its services, Cipher Core will pay HeartCore an aggregate of $500,000 in fees, and issue to HeartCore a warrant to acquire 3% of Cipher Core's capital stock, on a fully diluted basis. In the event that the Consulting Agreement extends beyond the initial 12-month term, the Company shall be compensated on an hourly basis for the time spent delivering its consulting services. The number of warrant shares, which is fully earned, vested, and non-returnable, may be subject to adjustments.

"Our second Go IPO contract for the year reflects the continued interest among Japanese growth companies in pursuing a U.S. listing amid a challenging IPO market," said HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno. "While we remain cautiously optimistic, our Go IPO pipeline continues to show momentum. We continue to engage in exploratory discussions with a number of companies across the Asia-Pacific region, many of whom are assessing the timing and viability of a U.S. listing. Encouragingly, several Asia-based growth companies, including a few of our own clients, are on track to finalize their listings later this year. We anticipate these upcoming listings will serve as a catalyst, prompting other companies weighing their options to accelerate their U.S. IPO plans. As deal activity picks up, we believe the groundwork we're laying today will convert into meaningful deal inflow in the long-term."

As part of the Consulting Agreement, HeartCore agreed to assist Cipher Core in its efforts to go public and list on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). Through Go IPO, the Company services clients by assisting throughout the underwriter, auditor, and legal firm hiring and negotiation process, translating requested documents into English, assisting in the preparation of documentation for internal controls required for an IPO or de-SPAC or other fundamental transactions, conversion of accounting data from Japanese standards to U.S. GAAP, providing support services to remove problematic accounting accounts upon listing, support creation of an English web page, preparation of an investor presentation and executive summary of the operations, provision of providing general support services, assisting in the preparation of an S-1 or F-1 filing, and more.
