On February 11, 2026, Richard Kirkendall, former CEO of Spaceship.com and Namecheap, announced a batch of new .ai domain name transactions, further confirming the investment enthusiasm and commercial value of domains related to the artificial intelligence field. Several premium domains were sold for six-figure US dollar prices, attracting industry attention.
In this transaction, Surface.ai topped the list with a sale price of $110,000, becoming the most valuable domain announced. Following closely behind were Climb.ai and Enclave.ai, both sold for $100,000, tying for second place. It’s worth noting that Enclave.ai’s pricing was quite cost-effective; its concise and memorable characteristics, combined with the industry relevance of the .ai suffix, gave it extremely high commercial application potential, making it considered a “rising star” in this transaction.
Besides general industry domains, this transaction also witnessed a rather interesting scene. Two domain names with female names were successfully sold, and coincidentally, these are the names of actor Ashton Kutcher’s two wives—Mila.ai sold for $95,000, and Demi.ai for $67,500. This coincidence adds an ironic and newsworthy element to the already hot domain trading market.
In recent years, .ai domains have seen a surge in popularity due to the explosive growth of the artificial intelligence industry, with short, meaningful, premium domains becoming the focus of investment and end-user competition. The transaction data released by Richard Kirkendall further highlights the scarcity value of .ai domains and indicates that the trading frenzy for these domains will continue.
