Press Release — DST Sponsor Platform Launch

EXHIBIT 99.1

Medalist Diversified, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRR) Announces DST Sponsor Platform; Inaugural Tesla-Leased Offering Available to Accredited 1031 Investors

Richmond-based public company positions DST sponsorship as a core strategy.

RICHMOND, Va. — May 6, 2026 — Medalist Diversified, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRR) (“Medalist” or the “Company”) today announced its Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) sponsor platform, operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MDRR Sponsor TRS, LLC (the “Sponsor”). Medalist, through the Sponsor, provides a publicly-traded platform to accredited 1031 exchange investors and their advisors, featuring SEC-reporting transparency, independent board governance and third-party due diligence on every offering.

The DST platform’s inaugural offering, MDRR XXV DST 1, is currently available only to accredited investors through registered broker-dealers and registered investment advisors. The DST offering is structured around a single-tenant, net-leased sales, service and delivery facility in Pensacola, Florida, leased to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). Tesla is rated investment-grade by S&P Global Ratings.

MDRR XXV DST 1 has completed independent third-party due diligence through recognized industry service providers, including FactRight and Mountain Dell Consulting. The DST property is a 45,461-square-foot facility that serves as Tesla’s sales, service and delivery hub for Northwest Florida and Southern Alabama and includes 20+ service bays, eight Supercharger stations, and more than 150 parking spaces. The offering is structured with approximately 47% loan-to-value financing and includes fixed-rate debt with coverage metrics consistent with institutional underwriting standards.

“We believe that Medalist is building a publicly-traded sponsor platform where investors, advisors, and broker-dealer partners have clear visibility into the sponsor’s financials through our publicly available SEC filings,” said Brent Winn, Chief Financial Officer.

“We are focused on sourcing investments characterized by institutional quality tenants, long-term leases and conservative use of leverage. For example, the MDRR XXV DST 1 investment was structured with a 47% loan-to-value ratio. Our approach emphasizes credit quality, lease structure, and capital discipline as core elements of our investment process,” said Peter Elwell, Managing Director, DST Investments.

The Sponsor continues to develop its broker-dealer and registered investment advisor distribution network and plans to continue to focus its underwriting strategy on single-tenant and multi-tenant commercial real estate leased to institutional tenants, principally in the Southeast, mountain states, and California.

“MDRR XXV DST 1 is currently being offered through participating broker-dealer and advisor relationships as we continue to expand our distribution network. We aim to provide our partners with access to institutional real estate investments through a platform operated within a publicly traded company, with public disclosures available regarding our financial condition and governance,” said Ron Nielsen, Executive Vice President, Sponsor Operations.
