Bitcoin domain BTC.com has fetched more than a million US dollars, as digital currency enthusiasts invest larger amounts to acquire bitcoin properties.

The domain, which was available on the market for a couple of weeks, was acquired by Josh Garza of Connecticut-based mining equipment firm GAWMiners for a whopping $1m (£654,000, €819,000), according to broker Domain Guardians.

BTC represents the most common abbreviation of bitcoin.

Bitcoin investors and enthusiasts will see this acquisition as another sign that it is worth investing in bitcoin and bitcoin related companies.
