JM Bullion (JMB), a leading e-commerce retailer of precious metals and a wholly-owned subsidiary of A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., announced in March 2024 its acquisition of the domain Gold.com.
According to information from the SEC filing of A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., as researched by George Kirikos, JMB acquired intangible assets worth $8.5 million, which included the domain name Gold.com. A corresponding entry for $8,515,000 labelled “domain name” on page 30 appears to relate to this transaction.
This investment is a significant addition to their digital portfolio, as JMB already owns Silver.com, positioning them with two of the most iconic and easily recognisable domains in the precious metals industry.
The acquisition of the gold.com domain represents a significant investment in our direct-to-consumer growth strategy. The gold.com domain carries broad global appeal and is an extremely versatile asset that will be incorporated into our long term strategy. Prominent, single word domains are in high demand due to their scarcity, and benefits of such domains include instant brand recognition and enhanced marketability.
Robert Pacelli, CEO of JM Bullion
This acquisition by JMB is a testament to their strong domain strategy, emphasising the power of premium dictionary-word .com domains. Securing such high-value domain names is a clever investment in digital real estate, as they offer unparalleled benefits in terms of brand recognition, memorability, and credibility. Premium domains like Gold.com and Silver.com are powerful branding tools that resonate with customers and enhance the overall brand prestige. The value of these domains is rooted in their simplicity and direct correlation with JMB’s core business offerings, allowing the company to establish a solid online presence.
It’s rare to have an opportunity to acquire a category defining asset such as this, and we are excited to add the domain to our expanding portfolio. All gold.com traffic is currently being redirected to the JMB website, providing visitors with seamless access to the company’s extensive range of products and services.
Robert Pacelli, CEO of JM Bullion
JM Bullion also owns ProvidentMetals.com and CyberMetals.com, an online platform that enables customers to buy and sell fractional shares of digital gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bars in various denominations.
This strategic approach to domain acquisition positions JMB as a forward-thinking leader in the e-commerce space for precious metals.
