## Exhibit 99.1

**MEI Pharma Acquires Litecoin, Launches $100M Institutional Treasury Strategy with Charlie Lee and GSR Advising**

**SAN DIEGO, 5 August 2025** – MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEIP) ("MEI" or "the Company") today announced the acquisition of 929,548 Litecoin (LTC) tokens at an average price of $107.58, successfully launching a major institutional treasury strategy with the LTC treasury now valued at approximately $110.4 million as of August 4, 2025. MEI becomes the first U.S.-listed public company to adopt Litecoin as a primary reserve asset, implementing a new strategy built on digital asset infrastructure and long-term capital innovation.

This strategic move, developed in partnership with GSR and with guidance provided by Litecoin Creator and MEI Board member Charlie Lee, marks the beginning of MEI's broader institutional treasury initiative, designed to leverage the scalability and reliability of Litecoin as a long-term store of value and operational treasury asset.

"Litecoin has long embodied sound, scalable, and decentralized money," said Mr. Lee. "By initiating this strategy, MEI is taking a clear, institutional step forward that recognizes Litecoin's role as both a reserve asset and an integral part of global financial systems."

Why Litecoin?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Proven Reliability:** Over 13 years of uninterrupted uptime — a benchmark in blockchain resilience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Operational Efficiency:** Low fees and fast settlement make LTC ideal for treasury and reserve allocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Broad-Based Adoption**: Integrated into platforms like BitPay, Robinhood, PayPal, and Venmo, with a wide network of users and merchants.

MEI's treasury strategy is guided by GSR, a leading crypto investment firm, ensuring robust governance, execution, and market expertise.

"We're proud to support MEI's innovative Litecoin treasury initiative," said Joshua Riezman, U.S. Chief Strategy Officer, GSR. "This model sets a new institutional standard for integrating digital assets into the financial operations of public companies."

MEI plans to formally update its corporate identity in the weeks ahead, reflecting its expanding strategy, which could include the commencement of Litecoin mining activities, and a commitment to long-term innovation in capital structure and financial technology.

In addition to MEI's new Litecoin treasury initiative, the Company continues to assess pre-clinical activities with our drug candidate pipeline that includes voruciclib, an oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 inhibitor, and anticipates commencing further investigational research and development in the next several months.
