Nvidia has officially become the first company in the world to surpass a $5 trillion market capitalization. This milestone was reached on October 29, with Nvidia’s shares rising around 3% at market open, pushing the company’s market value to approximately $5.07 trillion. This historic achievement comes just about four months after the company crossed the $4 trillion threshold.
Nvidia hit the $1 trillion market cap milestone in May 2023, and within just over two years, it surged to $5 trillion by October 2025. This represents a roughly 5x increase in market capitalization over about 29 months.
The surge in Nvidia’s valuation is driven primarily by the enormous demand for its AI chips, which power many cutting-edge AI applications and data centers. Nvidia controls the majority of the AI chip market, supplying technologies crucial for generative AI, autonomous vehicles, quantum computing, and other advanced tech sectors. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the company’s visionary plans, including $500 billion in AI chip orders and investments in supercomputing infrastructure and 6G technology through partnerships. The stock has surged roughly 50% in 2025, reflecting investor confidence in Nvidia’s central role in the global AI revolution.
On July 15 Nvidia secured approval from the U.S. government, under the Trump administration, to resume sales of its H20 AI chip to China, reversing the export ban imposed in April 2025. This permission follows extensive lobbying and a meeting between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and former President Donald Trump, with the administration committing to issuing export licenses soon.

This milestone places Nvidia well ahead of other tech giants like Microsoft and Apple, which hover around $4 trillion valuations. The rapid ascent underscores the transformative economic impact of AI, making Nvidia the largest publicly traded company by market cap in history.
Nvidia announced on September 18 a $5 billion investment in Intel, marking a significant partnership between the two semiconductor giants. Nvidia will purchase Intel common stock at $23.28 per share, acquiring about a 4% ownership stake in the company. This deal follows the U.S. government’s recent acquisition of a 10% stake in Intel.
Nvidia’s rise reflects the broader technology shift toward AI, with the company positioned to capture a significant share of the projected $200 billion AI infrastructure spending by 2030. This milestone also marks Nvidia as a central player in the global economy and the AI revolution, surpassing tech giants like Microsoft and Apple in market valuation.
In June 2024, it became known that Nvidia became the first computer chip company in history, the market capitalization of which reached $3 trillion. The company overtook Apple and was second only to Microsoft. The last time Nvidia was worth more than Apple was in 2002, five years before the first iPhone came out.
