Nvidia, the global leader in artificial intelligence chips, has reached a historic market capitalization threshold. Following Tuesday’s surge in the stock market, the company is very close to the $5 trillion mark. This historic leap is driven by a $500 billion order for AI processors and the announcement of seven new supercomputer projects for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Nvidia Market Capitalization Reaches $5 Trillion

Nvidia shares gained nearly 5 percent by the end of the day. This increase added $230 billion to the company’s market capitalization, bringing its total value to $4.89 trillion. It even briefly surpassed the $4.94 trillion level during the trading session, reaching an all-time high. Furthermore, Nvidia shares have increased by 50 percent since the beginning of 2025. The company surpassed the $4 trillion mark for the first time in July.

The company is at the heart of the AI ​​revolution. The seven supercomputer projects to be developed for the U.S. Department of Energy further strengthen this position. The largest of these projects will be developed in collaboration with Oracle. This system will be used to protect and develop the US’s nuclear arsenal and will feature 100,000 high-performance Blackwell AI chips.

The race between tech giants continues unabated. Microsoft, the world’s second-most valuable company, rose 2 percent on Tuesday, reaching a market capitalization of $4.03 trillion. The restructuring agreement between Microsoft and OpenAI also attracted attention. This agreement will allow the ChatGPT developer to move away from its nonprofit roots and operate more independently for a potential IPO.
