Amazon and other end users bought — Domain names

Huge firms buy domain names along with cryptocurrency firms.

Two very sizable firms made domain name purchases at Sedo over the past week. Amazon.com bought a generic and Statoil, a $74 billion market cap energy firm, bought a domain corresponding to one of its projects.

Of course, there were lots of cryptocurrency related purchases as well, led by Bitkey.com for $25,000.

Here are a baker’s dozen end user sales from Sedo:
