What To Know

  • Someone in the UAE has a massive opportunity to own the world’s largest Bitcoin portfolio of premium domain names from 2010 to stand out on the world stage to lead the global cryptocurrency revolution right here and now — what an incredible opportunity for ONE visionary UAE buyer.
  • But let me start off with a humble admission that I just didn’t truly understand the hype or insane valuations until I recently met a Dubai-based ‘executive consultant and self-reported ‘early-crypto investor’ on the plane ride back from the Bitcoin Asia Conference in Hong Kong who mentioned this specific press release to me and inspired me to write about it since he mentioned something very strange to me which I wasn’t aware of.
  • After discussing in great detail for hours-on-end ‘all-things-crypto’ and ‘all-things-domain names’ he helped me understand the industries much deeper and stated one of his wealthy clients with offices in Saudi Arabia and UAE has already expressed interest in the auction but politely ended here, requested anonymity, yet allowed me to quote him for the article.

According to a press release from Lloyds Auctioneers and Valuers, they are hosting an Exclusive Online Auction (w/ Internet & Absentee Bidding) and in quote, “…what industry observers are calling the most significant Bitcoin domain portfolio auction ever held.”

The collection features premium domains from the Bitcoin Network genesis-era including highly brandable and category-defining domains from 2010 such as:

    • BitcoinWallets.com – Google: 28M results / 432K EM

    • BitcoinBlockchain.com – Google: 687M results / 4.09M EM

    • BitcoinNetwork.com – Google: 170M results / 728K EM

    • BitcoinExchanges.com – Google: 54.7M results / 241K EM

Anytime a super rare story like this spins up I genuinely get excited as a citizen and journalist of the UAE because the visionary leadership at the government level and even around the corporate arena have shown time and time again nothing is impossible. Someone in the UAE has a massive opportunity to own the world’s largest Bitcoin portfolio of premium domain names from 2010 to stand out on the world stage to lead the global cryptocurrency revolution right here and now — what an incredible opportunity for ONE visionary UAE buyer.

“This isn’t just a group of good domains,” Mr. Hames added. “It’s the architecture of Bitcoin’s internet presence. Whoever wins this auction won’t just own names, they’ll own the language of Bitcoin’s digital economy.”

Everyone knows “.com” domain names are important for businesses and in some cases can extremely valuable if you happen to be smart enough to buy them first, you know, before four-or-five-billion other people who have an internet connection.


A Dubai Encounter

But let me start off with a humble admission that I just didn’t truly understand the hype or insane valuations until I recently met a Dubai-based ‘executive consultant and self-reported ‘early-crypto investor’ on the plane ride back from the Bitcoin Asia Conference in Hong Kong who mentioned this specific press release to me and inspired me to write about it since he mentioned something very strange to me which I wasn’t aware of:

“.com domains are huge in the U.S. but people don’t seem to understand or leverage them across the MENA region. Huge mistake.”

That may soon change.

After discussing in great detail for hours-on-end ‘all-things-crypto’ and ‘all-things-domain names’ he helped me understand the industries much deeper and stated one of his wealthy clients with offices in Saudi Arabia and UAE has already expressed interest in the auction but politely ended here, requested anonymity, yet allowed me to quote him for the article:

“Premium domains are hot property as unique, verifiably-scarce, and revenue generating global digital assets for big corporates who need to generate global trust and targeted traffic which spills over to more users and a waterfall of new revenue. You are basically buying a timeless and intuitive brand online and carving out marketshare in your sector by owning the exact-match domain names. Once you do, the competition can’t.”


Bitcoin, Crypto, and Market Opportunity

It sure seems this is the perfect intersection of grand scale confusion and unparalleled opportunity for those in-the-know. Crypto is now US $4 Trillion and the Bitcoin Network often marketed as a $100 Trillion revolutionary innovation as a decentralized monetary network with huge potential for the future.

At the conference both Eric Trump and famous exchange founder “CZ” stated they believe BTC is definitely headed to US $1M as it is being slowly embraced by families, corporates, Wall Street, and even governments around the world.

Multi-Billionaire “Bitcoin Mogul” Michael Saylor of Strategy, seems to agree:

“If Bitcoin is the steel of cyber-architecture, then Domains are the real estate holdings underneath, anchoring the virtual age in the bedrock of language and providing portals to the digital networks critical to life now & yet to come.” – Michael Saylor

And it was at that specific moment when it finally clicked for me like a light switch had magically been flipped and I had earned clarity on this complex subject.


Beyond Vanity: Domains as Global Power

It’s really not just about having one single main brand domain name for a website but much leveraging much deeper to own the relevant “industry domains” all around the sector in which you provide products and services for — to create a universal digital fortress around your business akin to both side and back doors into your business using ‘exact-industry keyword’ domain names which people identify with worldwide.

These are magical doors of global marketing without leaking advertising dollars to third party agencies or socials — doors that you own, develop, and leverage which are digital and available 24x7x365.

Essentially, if you own the “digital real estate” for your industry, it’s almost as if you own some type of timeless “cheat codes” to operate a more efficient, more respected, more trusted, more memorable, and more profitable enterprise which no one can stop.

To me, that’s incredibly powerful and justifies the hype. This is much more powerful than number plates, mobile numbers, exotic cars, or whatever else which is timeless in our region. This is true global power, not toys and vanity.

This isn’t massive billboards or catchy radio spots, or even flashy car wrap adverts. This is something big and Dubai needs to pay attention.


Big Sales in the Past

There’s a good reason the premium domain name VacationRentals.com sold for US $35.6 Million, CreditCards.com sold for US $26.5 Million, and HealthInsurance.com sold for US $8.133 Million. They’re playing to win.


Auction Details

Get your dates and tea ready:

At press time, there is pre-auction bid posted on the auction at US $181,210.

The Ultimate Bitcoin Domain Portfolio Exclusive Auction officially begins on September 15, 2025 and according to experts and socials commentary, some believe the auction could even break records for the crypto industry and reach US $10M – $20M.
