PRESS RELEASE DATED SEPTEMBER 12, 2019.
Exhibit 99.1
Helix TCS Closes
Amercanex Acquisition
Denver, CO. (September 12, 2019) - Helix
TCS, Inc. (OTCQB: HLIX) (the "Company"), the leading provider of critical infrastructure services to the legal cannabis
industry, finalized its previously announced acquisition of Amercanex (the "Transaction"), a B2B wholesale marketplace
that leverages blockchain technology and is capable of facilitating wholesale cannabis and hemp transactions between licensed
businesses on a global scale. Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company has already made significant progress towards integrating
the technology with its leading seed to sale, dispensary point of sale, and government traceability technology, via subsidiary
BioTrackTHC.
"We believe that our government
and commercial clients will benefit from a real-time B2B wholesale exchange marketplace that integrates directly with their required
government traceability system at the regulatory level, and with their seed to sale tracking software at the business level,"
said Zachary L. Venegas, Executive Chairman and CEO of Helix TCS, Inc. "As legal cannabis and hemp industries take shape,
the potential for an integrated platform of critical infrastructure services will be massive, and we have the perfect vehicle
to deploy that platform via our dominant market share." "It's very exciting" said Amercanex CEO Steve
Janjic "The Helix ecosystem is precisely the place for this platform to have maximum impact on the industry".
In 2016, the Company also acquired Cannabase,
the largest and oldest B2B wholesale marketplace in Colorado, which will play a critical role in the Company's strategic
initiatives. By incorporating a wholesale B2B marketplace into BioTrackTHC's vertically integrated seed to sale tracking
and dispensary point of sale software, the Company will be in a unique position to collect data points from the entire cannabis
supply chain. Currently, the Company holds government cannabis technology contracts in 10 U.S. states and territories, operates
in over 2,000 locations across the full-vertical, and was identified by a 3rd party as the largest provider of dispensary point
of sale software based on sheer market share.
