According to a post on X, the Slash.com domain name was acquired for $1 million. I understand the domain name was acquired with the help of Rob Schutz from Snagged.com:
Pumped we could help you snag https://t.co/sjm2HiiqIp. Epic domain upgrade.

I was told the domain name was acquired in an all-cash deal. The full payment was already made by the buyer.
Slash Financial, a “vertical banking” startup in the crypto space, got its start on the off-brand JoinSlash.com domain name. Earlier this week, Slash announced it raised $41 million in a Series B funding round. Post-funding, the company now has a valuation of $370 million.
I am unsure who sold the domain name as it was registered under Whois privacy for years.
Once confirmed by NameBio and DNJournal, this sale will rank in the top 5 publicly reported domain name sales, year to date. The sale has been added to the Embrace.com list of recent one word .com domain name sales. The domain name market is definitely heating up right now.
