Kogan.com sells bitbuy.com to Bitbuy, a Canadian Cryptocurrency Exchange


"The online retailer Kogan.com had the internet domain name Bitbuy.com, which is also the name of a Canadian cryptocurrency trading platform that purchased the address for AUD $2.1 million.

As part of the agreement, Kogan will also assist the organization with advertising and marketing when it launches in Australia.

Kogan has inked a domain sales agreement with Bitbuy, Canada's crypto trading platform, agreeing that Kogan will sell the domain name bitbuy.com to Bitbuy's parent business, First Ledger."

That's not quite accurate. The exact terms were in the announcement by the company, see:

https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/kgn (December 13, 2021 press release)
https://www.kogancorporate.com/ (December 14, 2021 annoucement)

namely:

Relevant details of the agreement are as follows:
● Kogan will transfer to First Ledger the domain: bitbuy.com (“Domain”)
● Kogan will provide advertising services to Bitbuy in connection with their future launch in Australia
● Upon transfer of the Domain, Kogan will receive:
○ USD$1.5m in cash; and
○ a warrant entitling Kogan to approximately CAD$2.8m in either equity in First Ledger or cash upon exercise of the warrant which will occur within one year after the transfer of the Domain.

So, it's a minimum of USD $1.5 million PLUS CAD $2.8 million in equity or cash MINUS the value of the advertising services (which are presumably nominal --- i.e. it's the domain name they want, as the buyers already own Bitbuy.ca and want to upgrade to the .com).

Reported domain was bought in 2012 for $1000... didnt specify if AUD or USD... doesnt really matter...

Namebio reports sale in 2012 for $2400 ... still not a bad ROI
