Nvidia has once again made history. The company has become the first publicly traded firm in the world to cross a $5 trillion market valuation, showing just how big the AI revolution has become. The company’s shares jumped more than 5% this week to touch $212.19, as excitement around its upcoming AI products and global influence continues to grow.
The massive surge in valuation comes shortly after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company expects around $500 billion in AI chip sales, and that it is building seven new supercomputers for the U.S. government. These supercomputers will focus on key areas such as energy, science, and national security, each powered by thousands of Nvidia GPUs.
Nvidia also revealed a $1 billion investment in Nokia, aiming to help telecom operators build AI-native 5G-Advanced and 6G networks using its platforms. This move shows how Nvidia is expanding beyond data centers and into next-generation communication systems.
Just three months ago, Nvidia became the first company to cross the $4 trillion mark, and now, it has added another trillion. It’s a record-breaking climb that highlights how crucial its GPUs have become in powering AI models and data centers worldwide.
The company’s chips are now the foundation of the AI industry. From training large language models to powering data centers and building AI-driven systems, Nvidia GPUs are everywhere. Their demand has skyrocketed so much that the company’s products have become both powerful and scarce.
In 2025 alone, Nvidia’s stock has surged by more than 50%, supported by continuous AI demand and a strong ecosystem built around its CUDA platform. It has also played a major role in several multi-billion-dollar AI partnerships, including plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI over the coming years. Both companies are working together to deploy 10GW worth of Nvidia systems to power OpenAI’s future projects.
This $5 trillion milestone means Nvidia is now worth more than the entire stock markets of most countries, except the United States, China, and Japan. It has also surpassed major tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet in valuation.
However, this massive rise has also started discussions about a possible AI market bubble. Some analysts believe that the speed of Nvidia’s growth might be faster than what real profits can support. The company is also facing challenges such as U.S.-China chip export restrictions, which could affect its future sales in key markets.
Still, there is no denying Nvidia’s impact on the modern tech world. It is not just making chips. It is also powering the entire AI revolution. Every major AI model, from ChatGPT to image generators, relies on Nvidia GPUs. And with projects like Blackwell chips and AI-native infrastructure, the company is showing no signs of slowing down.
