BTC.com announced today a new platform for the world’s Bitcoin users on “the million-dollar domain”.
We also learned from the press release that the BTC.com sale for $1 Million dollars is “long term lease agreement” and that BTC.com plans on selling subdomains.
We had an interview with the Broker who sold the BTC.com domain name which you can check out here
Here is the press release:
“BTC.com is the prime online destination for information about the Bitcoin and digital currency industry: integrating a community forum, breaking Bitcoin and digital currency news, Bitcoin network statistics, a solid beginner’s guide to Bitcoin, and much more.

“The million dollar BTC.com domain was acquired from the owner in a private, long term lease agreement.”

he might as well apply for the new gTLD .btc
Looking back at the original sale, it appears that GAWminers bought it for $1 million. GAWminers later ran into trouble and leased it to the current developer of BTC.com on a long term deal. As best I can tell, the $1M purchase was a cash purchase.
