Reported .si domain sales in 2026 (and what they do and don't tell you)

We found 18 reported .si sales of $5,000 or more in 2026 through 1 October, led by bot.si and recursive.si at $20,000 each (we leave out one gambling-related name). They show that some .si names changed hands for real money this year. They do not show what any other .si name would fetch, and most trades never get reported at all.

The full dated list, with a source link for every row, is on our .si sales fact page. This guide looks at the patterns.

Where the numbers come from

Three public sources cover almost everything we could confirm:

• NameBio daily reports, posted on the NamePros forum. Each lists the day's top sales across all extensions and a table of sales of $100 or more by extension (NamePros daily sales forum).
• DNJournal's weekly charts, which reported bot.si at $20,000 through Sedo in the two weeks from 8 to 21 June 2026 (DNJournal).
• Registrar and marketplace blogs, such as Dynadot's, which add context about some buyers (Dynadot blog).

We checked every row against its source on 3 October 2026. Prices are as reported, in US dollars; the services convert sales made in other currencies.

Pattern 1: two clusters, matching two registration jumps

The 2026 sales of $5,000 or more fall into two groups:

• Late May to mid-July: recursive.si ($20,000, 23 May), acquire.si ($14,888, 27 May), self.si ($12,500, 30 May), sports.si ($8,718, 1 June), build.si ($17,435, 2 June), bot.si ($20,000, 8 to 21 June) and grace.si ($5,000, 12 July).
• 23 September to 1 October: eleven sales, from wealth.si ($5,469) to otherwise.si ($18,888) and pocket.si ($17,016).

Register.si's monthly chart shows the same two bumps in new registrations: 6,342 in May and 6,938 in June 2026, against 2,300 to 4,000 in most other months, and then 46,066 in September (Register.si). Dynadot's blog ties the May jump to a prominent .si sale and the September jump to the "SI" naming news. Both are correlations; no source shows that one caused the other.

Pattern 2: daily volume after the SI news

NameBio's daily tables give a cleaner view of late September. Counts are sales of $100 or more.

Source: NameBio daily reports on NamePros (each date links its report), read 3 October 2026; totals are our sums of the rows. In the six reports we read for 15 to 20 September, .si did not appear in the extension table.

Two days stand out. On 23 September, the day after the "super intelligence" remark at the UN General Assembly, NameBio logged 14 .si sales. On 29 September, the day of the executive order, .si sales totaled $46,866, more than the $12,479 for .ai that day. Across the eleven days, though, .ai still had about twice as many reported sales.

Pattern 3: most venues are open marketplaces

Of the 19 sales of $5,000 or more on our list (18 from 2026 plus ai.si from 2025), 10 went through Sedo, 3 through Spaceship.com, 3 were private, 2 went through fruits.co and 1 through Dynadot. Marketplace sales are the easiest to report, which is one reason they dominate any public list.

Pattern 4: identical prices on the same day

Several groups of sales share a price, a venue and a date:

• books.si, coins.si and project.si, each $5,441 at Sedo on 29 September (NameBio);
• tenet.si, phase.si, fathom.si and hologram.si, each $1,499 at Sedo on 23 September (NameBio);
• seven names, each $1,000 at PureDN.com on 26 June (NameBio).

That looks like fixed asking prices met by buyers rather than names negotiated one at a time, though the reports do not say. It is a reminder that a "sale price" is often just a seller's list price that someone accepted.

What sales data does not tell you

It is not a value for your name. A sale is one buyer, one name, one moment. pocket.si selling for $17,016 says nothing about a different word.

It is not a complete market. Reports cover sales that venues or parties chose to disclose. Private deals often go unreported, and low-priced sales fall below the reporting threshold.

It does not say who bought. Dynadot's blog names a few end users, such as the AI company that bought recursive.si and a military supply retailer that bought military.si for $1,795. It also notes that many other top sales led to parked pages, and it cites a June 2026 review that found domain investors drove most recorded .si sales this year (Dynadot blog).

It does not change registry economics. Register.si charges every registrar the same €10 per registration, and it has said that media talk of large earnings for Slovenia from .si demand has no real basis (Register.si announcement).

A .com sale is about a .com. On buydotsi, some name pages show a historical sale of the .com, such as the historical sale of runningshoes.com for $700,000 in 2011. That figure belongs to the .com, a different domain. It is context for how a word has been valued as a .com, not a price or estimate for the .si. See names with a $100k+ historical .com sale.

How to read the next sale you see

1. Find the primary report and its date.
2. Note the venue and whether the price was fixed or negotiated.
3. Check whether it was a single word, a phrase or a short code; they behave differently.
4. Do not apply the price to another name.
