Namecheap and Spaceship Founder (and former CEO) Richard Kirkendall shared that the Open.Bot domain name was sold for $111,000 via the Spaceship Sellerhub. In announcing the sale, he asked if this is the highest public price paid for a .Bot domain name:
Open .bot sold for $111,000 at Spaceship’s sellerhub. Is this the highest public price paid for a .bot domain? 🤖🚀

The answer, as given by NameBio, is “no.” Per NameBio, Crypto.Bot was sold for $250,000 via Sedo in July of 2025. It is a notable sale though, becoming just the second six figure publicly reported sale in the .Bot extension.
@synth Wow, nice! 🔥 Sedo holds the record with $250k for Crypto․bot, but it’s #2 and more than 2x third place.

NameBio shows just 78 total public .Bot domain name sales. Of those, just 37 have been for four figures or more.
I hand registered a handful of .Bot domain names earlier this year. I don’t have high expectations for them, but I imagine there could be some demand if/when consumer-friendly robots hit the market en masse. The .Bot extension is operated by the Amazon Registry, and I registered mine for a little bit more than $60/each.
