## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**The Crypto Company Completes Majority Acquisition of Starchive.io, Inc.**

**Bringing Cultural Assets to the Blockchain Era**

**MALIBU, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2025** — <u>The Crypto Company</u> (OTCID: CRCW) ("TCC") today announced the completion of its previously disclosed acquisition of a majority interest in <u>Starchive</u>, a leading content management and monetization platform that safeguards and powers more than $1 Billion in cultural assets.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, originally signed on October 8, 2025, TCC acquired 50.1% of the outstanding capital stock of Starchive for a combination of cash, equity, and debt consideration. The transaction closed on October 15, 2025, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The acquisition of Starachive unites media, crypto, blockchain and AI—transforming creative works into authenticated, revenue-generating digital assets.

"When we saw notable creators using Starchive to preserve and manage their life's work, it was clear to us that this is the platform to bridge traditional real world assets and blockchain technology," said Ron Levy, Chief Executive Officer of The Crypto Company.

"Joining TCC allows us to accelerate innovation from within the media and entertainment industry," said Peter Agelasto, Co-Founder of Starchive. "Creators want full control over their production, distribution, and monetization. The next era points to connected digital wallets paying creators directly for access to their IP. Starchive is their on-ramp to that Web3 world—the Creator Web."

"Together with TCC, we're giving creators, studios and brands the ability to turn every file—from photos to film archives—into a portable, blockchain-secured asset class capable of earning income anywhere it travels," said Richard Averitt, President of Starchive." The synergy between TCC and Starchive positions Starchive to lead the next wave of on-chain real-world assets and expand the market for digital IP."

"This marks a defining moment for TCC," added Levy. "Starchive brings a strong user base, and an established platform that aligns with our mission to make blockchain tangible, useful, and profitable."
