Rick Schwartz shared a list of domain names he acquired in 2025, and I thought I would do the same.
I acquired / registered more than 600 domain names last year. I am fairly certain I hand registered more domain names during the year than in any prior year. Some of those were similar to names I previously sold and others were more trend-associated.
The largest percentage of acquisitions I made were .com domain names. I would guess that more than 90% were .com. I also bought multiple .AI, .CO, .IO, and .XYZ domain names. There are others – like a single .App, .TV, and .VC domain name, but I don’t think I bought domain names in any other extensions.
I would consider the domain names below to be my top 10 acquisitions of 2025 (not including names that were already sold). It is not a list of the most expensive domain names I acquired, but it is in alphabetical order. I invite you to share your top domain name acquisitions if you would like.

I shared four of my top acquisitions from 2025 as images in this ‘x’ post. Hope it’s okay to share rather than list them here.

Great additions I esp like Luminous/com and Navigator/ai.
Whatever you do, Elliot, hold on to Luminous.com — but maybe for reasons that aren’t obvious.
The next – and most important – iteration of AI is called ‘Ambient AI.’ That’s the technology that the upcoming OpenAI / Jony Ive device will be based on.
This tech is already pervasive in healthcare; most people have already encountered it without realizing it, when they see that pin their doctors are wearing — which transcribes all the notes from a patient visit.
So, this name is really ideal for any company that pivots to Ambient AI.
