Did Stripe Acquire Treasury.com?

Earlier this week, I detected a couple of changes related to the Treasury.com domain name with the help of DomainTools and DomainIQ.com, which I shared in a post on X:

Treasury.com still does not resolve to a functioning website and the Whois record is private. This would indicate the registrant is not publicly known. There has been a fair amount of discussion about who acquired the domain name.

This morning, I saw a post from Jamie Zoch, who referenced a feature on DotWeekly related to the Specs.com domain name. I plugged in Treasury.com into DotWeekly to see if anything could be inferred via the DNS records.

The DMARC record for Treasury.com has an @stripe.com email address listed. Does this mean Stripe may now own Treasury.com and is preparing to use it? Could Stripe be managing the domain name on behalf of another company? I am not really sure. A quick Google search shows Stripe has a financial service called Stripe Treasury, so it would make sense if Stripe did acquire the domain name.

DotWeekly also offers a neat tool that allows users to compare Whois and DNS records for two domain names. There are similarities between Stripe.com and Treasury.com. In addition to the DMARC record, it looks like both Treasury.com and Stripe.com have the same nameservers. The domain names are registered at different domain registrars though – Stripe.com is at Safenames and Treasury.com is at Com Laud.

Treasury.com is an exceptionally valuable domain name. It would make a great brand name, and perhaps it will become a great brand name. We will need to wait and see how Treasury.com is being used to see who owns it.
