CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to the Securities Times, from December 31, 2024, to January 3 of this year, Berkshire Hathaway, led by Buffett, acquired approximately 20,044 shares of VeriSign common stock for about $4.1 million.
According to reporter statistics, this is Berkshire's third acquisition of this company since December 2024. Possibly influenced by Berkshire's multiple increases in holdings, VeriSign's stock price has risen continuously since December 19, 2024, closing at $205.6 on January 3, with a peak of $210, and a current total market value of $19.76 billion.
CoinVoice previously reported that Verisign had already been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for applying blockchain technology to domain names.
In addition, Verisign has control over the '.com' and '.net' domains, with a patent named domain blockchain user address, outlining some key benefits and technical advantages of using DNS domain names associated with registrants in a blockchain network. It can support the use of domain names purchased in a traditional DNS environment within a blockchain environment. [Original link]
