$50k .AI Sale is Now Just Noteworthy

Tim Hargis alerted me to a LinkedIn post by Kushal Byatnal announcing that his company, Extend, had acquired the Extend.ai domain name for $50,000. The company had been using Extend.app, but it chose to spend mid-five figures to acquire the .ai domain name. You can see the rationale in the LinkedIn post:

Instead of covering this acquisition with a standalone article, I opted to post about it on X. I think this domain name sale was noteworthy, particularly because the Founder shared insight about the domain name and its importance to the company rather than simply sharing the acquisition price.

The thing that is striking to me is that .AI domain name sales in the 5 and 6 figure levels have become standard – and they occur regularly. When NameBio records this sale, it won’t even crack the top 50 public .AI domain name sales in the last year. It will rank in the top 50 year to date, but it is now middle of the pack and potentially lower as more .AI sales get reported.

Instead of a $50,000 .AI domain name sale being newsworthy, it is now merely noteworthy. The rise of the .AI domain name aftermarket and its continued growth is quite remarkable.
