Plasma AI pays $20,000 for Plasma.si, then forwards it to its .ai
· Summary of an article by Andrew Allemann, Domain Name Wire
Sedo's latest weekly list of end-user sales shows AI companies starting to buy .si names after the US government began calling AI "SI". Plasma AI paid $20,000 for Plasma.si and Gab AI paid $3,988 for Gab.si, and both forward the new names to the .ai domains they already run on; Albert.si, the name of an AI tool, also sold for $3,988.
Domain Name Wire's Andrew Allemann reads these as mostly defensive purchases, and wonders whether an AI company would ever launch on .si without owning the matching .ai. So far the pattern is clear: the .ai stays the main address and the .si is bought to protect it.
