According to the latest data, the total market value of Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google has reached $6.2 trillion, surpassing the GDP of any country in the world except the United States and China, even surpassing Japan's GDP in 2019.
As of August 14th, the market value of Amazon is $1.58 trillion, Microsoft is $1.58 trillion, Google is $1.03 trillion, and Apple is $1.97 trillion, making Apple the first company in the world to exceed a trillion-dollar market value.
The saying goes, "Success is often similar," and this principle applies to companies' founding as well. The success of these four tech giants is not only due to their formidable capabilities but also their strong emphasis on "internet real estate" - domain names. As high-tech companies highly dependent on the internet, having exclusive domain names is a significant asset.
Apple: Apple.com
As early as 2018 when Apple's market value exceeded a trillion dollars, it owned a total of 819 domain names. The full set of brand domain names, including Apple.com/.cn/.com.cn, holds substantial value. Domain names starting with "i," such as ipod.com, imac.com, and ibook.com, are particularly valuable. In 2011, Apple spent $5.2 million to acquire the cloud computing domain name iCloud.com, and in 2017, it spent $1.5 million to acquire iCloud.net. With these acquisitions, Apple finally secured all iCloud-related domain names.
Apple also owns premium domain names like siri.com, lala.com, mac.com, and me.com. Apple's extensive domain name portfolio and brand protection have reduced many obstacles as it transitioned into the internet industry.
Microsoft: Microsoft.com
Microsoft, as a pioneer in PC software development, also places significant importance on domain names. It owns a total of 4,643 domain names. Its official website domain is microsoft.com, and it has protected related domains like microsoft.cn/.com.cn/.net, as well as all possible misspelled domain names.
Microsoft also owns domain names related to its instant messaging product "MSN" and its live platform, such as msn.com/.cn and live.com/.cn. Microsoft's search engine, Bing, uses the matching domain name bing.com. Additionally, Microsoft owns premium domain names like gps.com, windows.com, zone.com, start.com, jump.com, and office.com. Recently, Microsoft acquired the potentially dangerous domain name corp.com.
Amazon: Amazon.com
Amazon, one of the earliest e-commerce companies, holds thousands of domain names. Its official website domain is amazon.com, while its Chinese website domain is z.cn. Amazon also owns brand-related domains like A9.com and aws.com.
Amazon, with its financial prowess, has acquired numerous premium domain names, including Accept.com, Exchange.com, and domains related to its acquisition of Quidsi, such as Look.com, Diapers.com, YoYo.com, Soap.com, and Wag.com.
Google: Google.com
Google is widely recognized as the world's largest search engine company and a veteran player in the domain name industry. In addition to owning the full set of brand domains related to google.com, it also possesses a legion of 3,917 domain names. These include 265.com, purchased for $200 million, as well as g.cn, gmail.com, like.com (acquired for $100 million), disco.com, crr.com, yt.com, and other premium domain names.
In the internet era, branding is an essential intangible asset for companies, and domain names are the first step in establishing a brand. Choosing a concise, relevant, and psychologically appealing premium domain name is an effective way for companies to gain customer trust, prevent brand confusion, and stand out among their competitors.
The fact that the total market value of the four tech giants reaches a staggering $6.2 trillion, and their domain name assets alone exceed the total assets of many companies, demonstrates the profound connection between a company's growth and its domain name strategy.
