History
The Bitcoin.com domain name was first registered in 2000 to the Swedish company Hurricane Communication AB. The company let it lapse, and, in 2003, it was picked up by Korean-based IVN Technology, which held the domain until 2005. The domain lay fallow until January 2008, when Jesse Heitler registered the name again. Heitler held on until July 2010, when he got an offer for $2,000. The domain subsequently changed hands a few times with no significant web activity.

Roger Ver, then gained control of the Bitcoin.com domain name in April 2014, where he leased it to Blockchain.info and then later to OKCoin. In May 2015, the 5-year agreement was terminated by OKCoin who issued a statement claiming the agreement regarding the domain was invalid due to the entity named in the documents not being representative of the actual company. Ver sued OKCoin's Hong Kong entity over contract breaches and was awarded a $570,000 judgement by a Hong Kong court in November 2017.

In May 2020, former Apple and Rakuten senior manager Dennis Jarvis was appointed CEO of Bitcoin.com. Jarvis redefined Bitcoin.com's vision to more broadly support the concept of ‘economic freedom’ rather than promote a specific cryptocurrency.

In April 2021, the Bitcoin.com domain was erroneously listed for sale on Godaddy. This prompted site owner Roger Ver to demand the domain registrar and web hosting company remove the $100 million listing, which it did without providing further explanation.

In February 2024, the Bitcoin.com CEO role was passed to Corbin Fraser who has been with the company since 2017. His vision for Bitcoin.com is focused on removing friction from the user experience, making it easier for individuals to engage with cryptocurrency for payments, savings, investments, and beyond.
