The following information comprises our prospectus and outlook for investors in fiscal year 2024.
The ticker is $MONEY.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, MoneyFund is a blockchain equity vehicle that exists to both enable speculative degeneracy and revolutionize crypto.
MoneyFund is the first cryptocurrency in history to be tethered to a domain portfolio.
The unobstructed purpose of MoneyFund is maximizing returns on investor capital. We are an aggressively forward-looking fund that operates on the premise of making strategically lucrative digital acquisitions. MoneyFund allocates the vast majority of capital towards token buyback and acquiring category-defining domain names in big money industries that we expect will persist for eternity. We have identified several key areas that encompass the aforementioned criteria of commercial longevity and significance— and we’ve aggressively accumulated domain positions in these sectors.
We place a strong emphasis on profitability by prioritizing low cost acquisitions through selective drop-catching. This strategy is essentially the recycling of expired domains that were initially registered in the late 90’s - early 2000’s. Years of drop-catching have allowed us to accumulate a portfolio of valuable domains at their $10 registration cost rather than at their substantially higher resale value, thus enabling our unparalleled gross margins.
MoneyFund’s most recent sale was VideoGame.bet— acquired for $10 in January 2024 and sold for $2300 on May 31st 2024. Additionally, Atom.com, a longstanding premium marketplace, recently valued one of our domains at $48,000.
Domain investing is a game as old as the internet itself. Domains are a brilliant place to deploy capital, provided you have a thorough understanding of the global domain market. This is where many people run into trouble, as they are not keen on the intricacies of the domain industry. It’s a capital intensive and often highly unprofitable learning curve to embrace, as the degree of implied subjectivity is enough to confuse most retail buyers on the difference between digital gold and digital garbage. At MoneyFund, we believe building a comprehensive yet categorically concentrated portfolio of high quality domain names is one of the most astute ways to park money in the 2024 economy.
Traditional equities are often inherently more speculative than investing in MoneyFund because when you buy a stock, you’re placing blind faith in the hope that a team of coked-up corporate executives will be able to produce a return on your investment. When you buy equity in MoneyFund, you are able to see our every asset and all that is required of you to understand these holdings is basic 4th grade literacy. This conceptual simplicity of the MoneyFund business model leaves little room dishonesty or confusion, as investors know exactly what they are buying partial ownership of.
Domains are the foundation of modern brands and the ubiquitous bedrock that underpins all technology. Domains are the building blocks of digital corporate identity, which only continues to compound in relevance as we plunge further into the increasingly electronic economy. More than just a brand, domains are the digital storefront that millions of global consumers interact with on a daily basis.
The vast majority of MoneyFund’s capital has been allocated towards .com domains, accounting for over 70% of our total domain holdings. We strongly prioritize the .com extension due to the fact that .com domains makeup by far the largest and most sought-after portion of the global domain market.
To put in perspective the breadth and scope of the .com domain market, there are approximately 1500 TLD’s (extensions) in existence, and .com alone accounted for over 78.5% of all domain sales by dollar amount, and an even more staggering 83% of total sales volume in fiscal year 2023.
While we allocate capital in parallel to the aforementioned sales-data, we also recognize the importance of building out a moderately diversified portfolio with some exposure to alternative extensions. Our second and third highest TLD capital concentrations are .org and .ai respectively. Our fourth and fifth highest investment concentrations are .net and .bet.
Another primary reason for our .com preference is because the MoneyFund business model is built off of the unfathomably high margins that are able to be realized due to the comparatively inexpensive .com registration fees of only $10 annually. In contrast to this are extensions such as .ai and .io which carry astronomically higher renewal fees and thus are a source of significant liability for funds that are financially overexposed to these extensions.
MoneyFund, as illustrated by our own domain, prioritizes the acquisition of real words and phrases with literal meaning. While we do hold a small number of what are often dubbed as “brandable domains”, we maintain our belief that a vast majority of these names have no inherent value. For instance, you cannot stop a company from branding themselves with some random made-up neologism like “google”. In contrast, real dictionary words and phrases have predictable significance within the industries that they reference. This strategy of literalism is what differentiates domain portfolios and makes MoneyFund vastly more investable than its few competitors.
In 2023 alone, 763 thousand domain names were sold for a total of $168.9 million USD globally.
At MoneyFund we believe that domains are strategic digital real estate that, as an asset class, will experienced staggeringly outsized returns for well-positioned investors over the next several years and on into the foreseeable future.
Over the past number of years, our small team of visionary intellectuals has dedicated itself towards identifying and acquiring the most culturally and industrially significant brand names on the market. MoneyFund is essentially a team of highly competent rock collectors who sift through heaps of domain gravel for a handful of profitable gems. In doing so consistently over several years, MoneyFund has been able to amass an expansively unrivaled portfolio of brilliant digital assets that, for the first time in the company’s 27 year history, have become collectively investable to the general public.
Moreover, it is our goal as a platform to make domain investing more accessible and comprehendible to the public, eventually bringing the space back into the financial mainstream. Our focus on investor accessibility was the driving logic behind tethering our domain portfolio to the MoneyFund token, so as to cut the pie into a greater number of smaller, more affordable slices which expands the pool of prospective investors by enabling contributions of any magnitude.

The following verified sales data is comprised of 2+ word .com domains only. These sales paint far from a complete picture, as a majority of larger sales are private and remain undisclosed.
This dataset is brief, as the daily average domain transaction volume is around $400,000.
One final note worth considering is that the following sales are in no way representative of the most expensive domain sales in history. Names like Business.com which sold for $345 million and Carinsurance.com ($50 million) represent this uppermost bracket of the domain industry.
