Domain Name Wire reports an extremely large domain deal. The Tokens.com domain was bought for $2,245,000 by Bed Bath & Beyond, a major American home goods retailer, and sold by Realbotix Corp., a company developing humanoid robots powered by artificial intelligence. Realbotix Corp. announced the sale in a press release.
The transaction is expected to close on April 1 of this year. By that date, however, the buyer will have paid only $1.5 million of the total amount. The remaining balance is scheduled to be transferred to the seller in multiple installments through January 31, 2027. As a result, it remains uncertain whether the transaction will be included in the annual rankings of the largest domain acquisitions. Another obstacle is that, in addition to Tokens.com, the deal encompasses several other domain names of lesser value. Unless the specific valuation attributed to Tokens.com is disclosed, ranking compilers will be unable to account for the transaction.
At present, the domain redirects to a site that states, “Bringing real-world assets into a single, regulated liquidity framework designed for clarity, access, and trust.” The footer notes: “Tokens.com is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., subject to closing and customary conditions.” It also states that the business will launch on July 1.
