In looking at NameBio this morning, I don’t see any 7 figure publicly reported .AI domain name sales. The largest public sale recorded by Namebio was the $750,000 sale of Wisdom.ai, reported by DNJournal. That is going to change.
According to a post on X by Sedo, the Bot.ai domain name was sold via Sedo for $1.2 million USD. Sedo stated this was a BIN sale, meaning the seller listed the domain name for $1,200,000 and the buyer utilized the buy it now functionality to acquire it:
+++Breaking News: $1,200,000 million for .AI deal+++

It’s no #news that #AI domains are in high demand, but this transfer tops all previous ones.

Whois records show the domain name was transferred to Sedo’s escrow account at Porkbun. The domain name has a landing page with a 2023 date on it, so it doesn’t appear to have utilized a Sedo landing page. The buyer of Bot.ai is currently unknown.
Thanks for reporting this, Elliot.
Everything agentic & bot is where all the money and attention is focused. And sales like this not only confirm that fact, but also confirms what Binance said in a blog post (today) about the importance of brands:
“In the Agent era of marketing, AI-to-AI transactions and decisions are prevalent, with brands serving as the last human competitive moat.”
That’s a statement that must become the slogan for someone (or some company) in this industry.
