As you may have seen yesterday, George Kirikos published an article about the A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. SEC filing that mentioned its acquisition of Gold.com. A few weeks ago, I learned the domain name had been acquired by JM Bullion, a company owned by A-Mark Precious Metals, in a deal brokered by Andrew Miller of Hilco Digital. At the time, the sale price was not shared.
As George noted, the SEC filing stated “In March 2024, JMB acquired $8.5 million of intangible assets that included Gold.com’s domain name.” Since the filing mentioned “assets,” indicating the potential for multiple acquisitions, I reached out to Andrew to ask him to confirm the sale price of Gold.com. Andrew was able to confirm the domain name sold for $8,515,000.
Commenting on the deal, Andrew shared the following with me:
“As George discovered and reported, I did oversee the sale of Gold.com to JM Bullion/A-Mark in March for $8,515,000. As you are aware, I strive to keep price confidentially on all buy and sell side transactions I handle but sometimes, as with the $15.5m Chat.com sale which was disclosed last month, or Gold.com since the price was published in a 10 Q, it is OK to confirm it now. I believe it was a really nice win-win outcome for both sides and I’m excited to see how JMB/ deploys it going forward.”
Once archived by DNJournal and Namebio, the Gold.com sale will rank as the top publicly reported domain name sale of 2024 to date, well above the $1.2 million sale of TP.com. Gold.com has also been added to the list of recently reported one word .com domain name sales maintained on Embrace.com.
When I see this the first thing I looked up is Bullion.com which Michael Castello & David Castello owned.
Looks like they sold it.
Nice sale
When I saw you mentioned TP.com I had to chuckle because those letters are the shorthand for words we use in our separate business of a commercial janitorial services when talking amongst each other. TP is Toilet Paper, PT is paper towels etc.
Anyway, wow that’s a nice transaction for Gold.com 🙂
All I can say….great domain name and good for the domain industry
Best of all,gold is all time high and I am planning to sell some of my gold in New York
China is buying lots and lots of gold
FYI
The Indians and many Asians that love gold and bought gold bracelets necklaces rings found themselves to be instant millionaires
Love them all…
Please…do not wear any gold with you…
