Nvidia $4 trillion company milestone is now a headline rewriting the history of market capitalization.
On Wednesday, Nvidia surged past the $4 trillion mark in market value, beating both Microsoft and Apple. The tech world watched closely as its stock reached a record high of $164.32, before slightly dropping to $163.36. Even with this minor dip, Nvidia made history. It became the first company to hit that valuation, briefly securing its spot as the world’s most valuable company.
AI is driving Nvidia’s unstoppable growth
Nvidia $4 trillion company moment didn’t happen in a vacuum — artificial intelligence was the catalyst. Investor confidence in AI’s transformative role has fueled a buying frenzy. Nvidia, once a humble gaming chipmaker, is now synonymous with the AI revolution. From gaming to crypto mining to powering massive AI data centers, Nvidia continues to evolve and dominate.
Robert Pavlik of Dakota Wealth notes, “Companies are shifting their asset spend toward AI… it’s the future.” Nvidia’s leadership in this area has made it the clear frontrunner. Art Hogan at B Riley Wealth echoed this, calling Nvidia “a clear early winner of artificial intelligence.”

From early 2025 losses to epic rebound
Not long ago, Nvidia faced a sharp valuation drop. In early 2025, export concerns and Chinese AI competitors cost the company $600 billion in market value. But Nvidia bounced back hard. With over $44 billion in Q1 revenue and $19 billion in profits, it beat every forecast. Shares are up over 21% this year — more than three times the S&P 500’s 6.5% gain.
Nvidia’s dominance isn’t just symbolic — it’s mathematically stunning. With 24.4 billion shares outstanding, even a slight dip in share price still puts its market cap near $4 trillion. Microsoft trails with $3.74 trillion, and Apple stands at $3.15 trillion. Only these three have crossed the $3 trillion line.
To put that into perspective, the entire crypto market is worth less than Nvidia, currently at $3.53 trillion. Even Bitcoin, at its all-time high of $111,157, holds a $2.2 trillion cap — nearly half of Nvidia’s.
