Voice.com Domain Name Sells for $30 Million to Blockchain Startup

Blockchain social network startup Block.one has acquired the domain name Voice.com for $30 Million from MicroStrategy.

This $30 Million domain sale is the highest reported all cash domain sale in history. GoDaddy facilitated the sale of the domain name between the two parties on May 30, 2019. The news broke today when Business Wire released a press release about the deal. The domain is being used by Block.one, a blockchain startup social network to create a platform called Voice. GoDaddy Aftermarket VP Paul Nicks confirmed the deal via his twitter handle @PaulENicks this morning. https://twitter.com/PaulENicks/status/1141014653218283520 https://www.jasonfranklin.com/namescon-2020-will-be-in-austin-texas/

The seller MicroStrategy is a leading worldwide provider of enterprise analytics and mobility software. They also own many other premium domain names including:

  • Wisdom.com
  • Alert.com
  • Glory.com
  • William.com
  • Emma.com
  • Strategy.com
  • Hope.com
  • iDream.com
  • Arthur.com
  • Usher.com
  • Speaker.com
  • Courage.com
  • Mike.com
  • Frank.com
  • Michael.com
To get more information about the domain names listed above, please visit MicroStrategy.

This is the largest reported all cash domain sale in history, being that this domain name was sold without a website or any other services, and was sold just as the domain name alone.

Here is a list of The All-Time Top 20 All-Cash Domain Sales Reported by the DNJournal from 2003 - present. In conclusion, I believe Block.one made a great choice in a startup name with Voice, and the name Voice.com should suit them and their blockchain social network platform well. Currently there is a beta access request form on the home page of Voice.com. I've already signed up to check it out when it's available. Will you be signing up? What are your thoughts?
