In July 2025, a chipmaker became the first company in history to reach this market-value milestone, powered by demand for AI processors.
Nvidia became the first company ever to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization, hitting that milestone on July 9, 2025. The surge was fueled by explosive demand for Nvidia's AI processing chips, which power the vast majority of data centers training and running today's large AI models, making the company central to the broader AI boom in a way few hardware makers have ever been for any technology wave.
$2 trillion was a milestone Nvidia had already passed years earlier in 2023, well before this record-setting moment, and $6 trillion was not yet reached at the time described, making both the wrong figure for this specific July 2025 milestone.
Nvidia's rise was remarkably fast even by tech standards: it crossed $1 trillion in 2023 and $3 trillion in 2024, meaning it added trillions of dollars in value within just a couple of years, briefly overtaking both Apple and Microsoft as the world's most valuable public company.
