Nvidia Breaks Record, Becomes First Company to Hit $5 Trillion Market Cap

The graphics card manufacturer and AI chip supplier Nvidia has broken through another milestone on its high note. The US company was the first company in history to reach a market value of five trillion dollars. So the AI ​​bubble continues to grow.

Share price has increased more than tenfold since the end of 2022

With the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Nvidia’s share price has reached a new high, ensuring that the GPU manufacturer is now worth over five trillion dollars. It wasn’t until July 2025 that Nvidia was able to pass the $4 trillion mark. After a big jump at the opening of the stock market, the price has currently moved slightly lower again, so that Nvidia’s market value is back below the $5 trillion mark when this article is published.

At the beginning of the trading day, the price initially reached a high of $209.40 per share. This means that Nvidia’s share price has already risen by almost 1,100 percent since the market launch of OpenAI’s AI chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022. Of course, Nvidia has so far benefited most from the fact that the AI ​​boom is driving up interest in its graphics chips intended for tasks in the field of artificial intelligence.

Nvidia’s extreme rise, which is leaving all other US tech giants far behind, is currently being fueled by a series of announcements that company boss Jen-Hsun Huang made public in the last few days. Among other things, he announced strategic partnerships with various companies, while at the same time there is the possibility that Nvidia might not be as badly affected by punitive tariffs from the US government as expected.

There is also a meeting scheduled today between Huang and US President Trump, during which further positive signals for the company are expected. Market observers assume that Nvidia will continue to penetrate new markets with its AI products, although there appear to be hardly any limits when it comes to cooperation with new partners. The majority of stock market investors are now assuming that Nvidia’s share price only knows one direction for the time being – upwards.
