Exhibit 99.1

NorthStrive Defense Tech Acquires Multi-Domain Drone Payload Technology

Option for Defense and Commercial Applications

Newport Beach, California – April 6, 2026 – NorthStrive

Defense Tech LLC (“NorthStrive Defense Tech”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMGC Holdings Inc. (the “Company”),

today announced it has acquired rights to a novel drone technology through an exclusive option agreement (“Option Agreement”)

with a corporation.

The Option Agreement provides NorthStrive Defense Tech with an exclusive

option, within the aerospace and defense technologies field (“Field”), to get an exclusive license as to certain patent rights

for U.S. Patent No. 12,291,334, covering a next-generation drone system designed to transport payloads across air and water environments.

The option (“Option) is also for a non-exclusive license in the aerospace and defense technologies field as to certain know-how

connected to these patent rights, as further set forth in the Option Agreement. On NorthStrive Defense Tech’s exercise of this option,

NorthStrive Defense Tech and the counterparty will enter into negotiations for a definitive license agreement.

Advancing Multi-Domain Payload Capabilities for Defense

This technology represents a new class of drone systems capable of

operating across multiple environments, by enabling an aerial vehicle to transport a cable-suspended payload through water while maintaining

flight above the surface. This approach leverages buoyancy to reduce energy consumption and increase payload efficiency compared to traditional

air-only drone systems.

Key capabilities include:

● Multi-domain

operation across air and water.

● Improved

payload efficiency through buoyancy-assisted transport.

● Access

to complex environments, including coastal, riverine, and flood-prone regions.

● Flexible

payload deployment, including sensors, equipment, and logistical supplies.

The system employs trajectory optimization and a dynamic control model

to plan parcel movement through varied underwater terrain, including avoidance of natural and man-made obstacles.

Addressing Critical Defense Gaps

The Company believes this technology addresses a key gap in modern

defense capabilities, where existing systems are limited to single-domain operation and cannot efficiently transport payloads across both

air and water.

Potential defense applications include:

● Littoral

and riverine logistics

● Autonomous

resupply in remote environments

● Sensor

deployment

Next Steps Toward Licensing and Commercialization

The Option Agreement provides that during the Option Period, the Company

will develop a plan to develop and commercialize products and/or services in connection with the patents the Field, and obtain financing

to pursue that plan.

If the Company exercises the Option, the Company intends to negotiate

and execute a definitive licensing agreement to secure full commercialization rights and advance the technology through development, partnership,

and deployment pathways.

Neither the Company nor NorthStrive Defense Tech can guarantee that

the parties will successfully negotiate a definitive license agreement or that the technology will be successfully developed or commercialized.

About NorthStrive Defense Tech LLC

NorthStrive Defense Tech LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMGC Holdings

Inc. focused on identifying, acquiring, and commercializing advanced defense technologies, with an emphasis on drone and autonomous systems.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release regarding matters that are

not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995, as amended. Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “potential,” “would”

and “future” or similar expressions such as “look forward” are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance.

Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and

strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, activities of regulators and future regulations and other future

conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in

circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Although the Company believes that the expectations

expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct,

and the Company cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results. Therefore, you should not rely

on any of these forward-looking statements. These and other risks are described more fully in PMGC’s filings with the United States

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, and its other documents subsequently filed

with or furnished to the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s web site

at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date on which they were made. Except

to the extent required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances

that exist after the date on which they were made.
