Chat.com: A Rare Price Reveal

 It was a whirlwind week, with a bit more “noise in the news” than our usual modus operandi of operating discreetly and stealth. On Tuesday, DN Journal broke the story of the price of our Hilco Digital Assets with larry fischer sale of Chat*com, a very rare instance of the price of a deal we oversaw coming out. If you have not seen it, here it is again, https://lnkd.in/ebJE_awe I discussed in last weeks Random Sunday Thoughts, I am typically very pro confidentiality but in this case, I believe there is some value in the $15.5M price of the Chat*com deal being discussed openly. I can also confirm that we have an even bigger deal that happened a few weeks ago in March, and look forward to being able to elaborate more down the road. We are working on some really exciting transactions and strategic initiatives that will be made more public in the coming months.

FDX.com – Sold!

It was also figured out this week that we oversaw the sale of FDX*com, https://lnkd.in/efmpmUyP. We have the most valuable portfolio of category defining and exact match domains that we are advising on or own including recent additions Candy*com, Nashville*com, and Eclipse*com. All are at HilcoDigital.com/domains

Squadhelp is now Atom.com!

I am on the Board of Atom.com, and HDA is the lead investor. On Wed, we announced the big news we have been excited about for awhile, the rebrand from Squadhelp to Atom. I wrote a short article on why we chose Atom, and how we went about it here, https://lnkd.in/eZ3APhYZ , if you want to check it out.

Fractional Investing for Ultra-Premium Domain Name Assets

As posted a few weeks ago, we took part in the Rally™ pre-sale for the IPO for the MJ*com domain name. On Friday, the IPO sold out. Congrats to the Rally team and Andrew Rosener and am excited for the potential of fractional investing in digital assets.
