MessageBird, an Amsterdam-based cloud communications platform, announced that it has acquired the domain name Bird.com, reportedly for $10M (approx €8.7M). However, Silicon Canals could not independently verify the price.
Recently, Domain Name Wire confirmed that the Dutch scale-up acquired the domain name ‘Bird.com’ through exclusive auction from Monte Cahn of Right of the Dot, after a previous auction for $2.5M (approx €2.2M) fell through last year since the bidder never paid.
