Jensen Huang-led Nvidia makes history, becoming the world’s first company to reach $5 trillion in market value

Nvidia has reached a historic $5 trillion market value, becoming the most valuable company in the world. 

The milestone, confirmed on October 29, 2025, marks a new peak for the chipmaker and highlights the global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology that drives almost every major innovation today.

Nvidia becomes first company to reach $5 trillion

Nvidia’s rise to $5 trillion did not happen overnight. Under CEO Jensen Huang, who founded the company in 1993, Nvidia has transformed from a gaming graphics firm into the most important name in AI computing. 

His long-term focus on chip design and software platforms like CUDA helped Nvidia take a massive lead in AI hardware.

According to reports, Nvidia’s latest market surge was powered by record demand for its GPUs, which are used in data centers, self-driving cars, and large AI models. Huang’s calm and steady leadership has made investors trust Nvidia’s direction.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Huang wrote:

“AI is the new industrial revolution. What we’re building today will shape the next century.”

This statement sums up his belief that AI is not just a trend but a lasting shift in how industries work.

What Nvidia’s $5 trillion value means for the tech world

With this milestone, Nvidia has now passed tech giants like Apple and Microsoft in value. Market experts say this shows how central AI has become to the global economy. 

Jensen Huang’s personal stake has now grown to about $179 billion, reflecting how closely his success is tied to Nvidia’s growth.

Investors are excited but cautious. Some say Nvidia’s rise may slow down if AI spending cools. Still, many believe that with Huang’s focus on research and global partnerships, the company is in a strong position to lead for years to come.
