Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 19, 2026

LQR House Announces One-Year Agreement for

the Purchase of

up to $3 Million in OpenAI Computing Resources

to Enhance Fusion Five Continents Securities’

Research and Quantitative Capabilities

MIAMI BEACH, FL / October 19, 2026 / LQR House Inc. (NASDAQ:

YHC) (“LQR House” or the “Company”) today announced that its subsidiary YHC AI Limited has entered into a one-year

agreement to procure up to $3 million in AI computing resources powered by OpenAI technologies to support the continued development of

AI-driven research, quantitative analytics, and automated portfolio optimization at its other subsidiary, Fusion Five Continents Securities

Limited (“Fusion Five”).

This agreement represents another step in the Company’s strategy

to expand Fusion Five’s technology capabilities and advance its vision of an AI-enabled brokerage platform integrating financial

research, portfolio analytics, and investment execution.

Expanding AI-Driven Research and Quantitative Analytics

Fusion Five is a financial services firm operating at the intersection

of digital finance, global capital markets, and digital asset infrastructure. Its platform is designed to integrate AI-assisted research,

automated portfolio optimization, order execution, and stablecoin-based funding and settlement capabilities within a unified environment.

Through continued investment in artificial intelligence and quantitative

modeling, Fusion Five aims to broaden access to sophisticated research and portfolio analytics traditionally associated with institutional

investment platforms.

Fusion Five first developed its own AI and quantitative modeling capabilities

before the Company entered into an agreement in June 2026 with a ByteDance group company to incorporate that group’s advanced AI

models into the platform. Today’s newly announced computing agreement in respect of OpenAI’s models is intended to complement

those existing capabilities, providing additional resources to support the development, refinement, and deployment of AI-powered research

and portfolio optimization tools.

The Company believes that combining Fusion Five’s existing quantitative

infrastructure with additional AI models and computing resources will help expand the platform’s analytical capabilities, support

more complex research workflows, and improve the tools available to inform portfolio construction. The extent of these benefits will depend

on implementation, testing, and performance in practice.

Building a Multi-Model AI Infrastructure

The Company’s strategy is to develop a flexible AI infrastructure

that can incorporate complementary models and computing resources as Fusion Five’s platform evolves. Rather than relying exclusively

on a single model or technology provider, this approach is intended to support the integration of additional capabilities as they become

available and appropriate for the platform’s needs.

Under today’s agreement, YHC AI Limited will procure AI computing

resources and access to the latest GPT models that are available in Singapore for potential use in Fusion Five’s financial research,

quantitative analytics, and portfolio optimization workflows. The Company intends to evaluate these capabilities as part of its broader

strategy to develop a multi-model AI infrastructure. Following the Company’s $30,000 deposit, the amount payable for AI computing

resources, including the GPT models, under the agreement with the agent will depend on Fusion Five’s deployment requirements and

usage during the contract term.

The Company believes that this flexible, multi-model architecture

will provide a foundation for continued product development while enabling Fusion Five to evaluate technologies according to their relevance

to specific financial research and analytical tasks.

Management Commentary

“We see AI as an opportunity to fundamentally improve the

tools available for financial research and portfolio analysis,” said Leo Chen, LQR House’s new Chief Executive Officer.

“Fusion Five has already invested in developing its own AI and quantitative capabilities. Our next step is to build on that foundation

by evaluating complementary models and expanding the computing resources available to the platform. Our goal is to develop an integrated,

AI-enabled brokerage that brings research, analytics, and execution together in a single environment, while maintaining a disciplined

focus on implementation, reliability, and risk management.”

About LQR House

Through its subsidiary Fusion Five Continents Securities, LQR House

provides clients with access to Hong Kong and U.S. equity markets with an integrated operational framework that offers AI-driven research,

quantitative analytics, and automated portfolio optimization. Distinguishing it from most financial intermediaries targeting Asian investors,

Fusion Five is able to accept USDT deposits as a funding mechanism for securities trading, with settlement facilitated by a licensed

trust company, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. Fusion Five has assembled an experienced technology team with credentials

from Oxford, Stockholm University, and Tsinghua University, combining expertise in quantitative finance, AI, and behavioral data science.

Fusion Five is deploying AI-driven capabilities across its operations to drive efficiency and enhance the client experience, while advancing

its vision of an AI-enabled brokerage platform integrating financial research, portfolio analytics, and investment execution.
