In a historic moment, Nvidia has officially become the first publicly traded company in the world to reach a market value of $4 trillion. That’s right—this once niche chipmaker has now surpassed tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, achieving the milestone faster than anyone expected.
A Rapid Rise Fueled by A.I.
Nvidia took over 30 years to reach a $1 trillion valuation. But after ChatGPT launched in late 2022, the company’s value skyrocketed more than tenfold in just two years. That kind of growth is practically unheard of on Wall Street.
Why? Because Nvidia is at the very heart of the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) revolution.
The Brains Behind the A.I. Boom
Nvidia makes GPUs—graphics processing units—that power the advanced computing behind A.I. tools like ChatGPT, self-driving cars, and more. Its CEO, Jensen Huang, saw this future coming long before most others. He invested billions into building chips and software for A.I. developers, and that bold bet is now paying off in a big way.
When ChatGPT burst onto the scene, it triggered a gold rush for A.I. infrastructure. Companies started throwing around $100 million contracts and building massive data centers, all powered by Nvidia chips.
Everyone Wants Nvidia’s Chips
Tech giants like Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, Amazon, and Google’s Alphabet are expected to spend a staggering $320 billion this year on infrastructure, and a big chunk of that will go straight to Nvidia.
Demand is so high that tech billionaires like Larry Ellison (Oracle) and Elon Musk (Tesla) have literally pleaded with Huang to get more chips. As Ellison joked, “Please take our money!”
Profit Explosion
Nvidia’s profits have gone through the roof. In 2023, its net income was $4.4 billion. Just two years later, in 2025, it hit nearly $74 billion. That’s not just growth—it’s a transformation.
The company’s value surged from $330 billion in 2022 to $3.3 trillion by late 2024, and now it has officially crossed the $4 trillion mark.
A New Tech Era
Experts are comparing Nvidia’s dominance to Apple’s reign over the smartphone era. Analyst Mark Lipacis believes Nvidia could eventually make up 16% of the entire S&P 500 index—more than double Apple’s peak share.
“This could be a 20-year era,” Lipacis says. “And for Nvidia, the battle is already won.”
A Rockstar CEO
All this success has made Jensen Huang, 62, a rockstar in the tech world. He recently drew 15,000 fans to a stadium in San Jose just to hear him speak about A.I.’s future. And with Nvidia leading the charge, that future is looking more powerful—and profitable—than ever.
