# NVIDIA becomes the first chipmaker worth $1 trillion

Driven by demand for AI accelerators after ChatGPT, NVIDIA's market capitalization briefly topped $1 trillion on 30 May 2023, the first chip company to do so; it later passed $3T (June 2024), $4T (July 2025) and $5T (October 2025).

## Key facts
- Crossed $1T intraday on 30 May 2023
- Followed a record revenue forecast in late May 2023 driven by datacenter GPUs
- Became the first company to reach a $4T market value in July 2025
- Became the first to reach $5T on 29 October 2025 (closing value ~$5.03T)

## What happened

NVIDIA's stock soared as every major lab and cloud provider raced to buy H100 GPUs.

## Why it matters

NVIDIA's valuation became the market's barometer for the AI boom and of the scale of capital flowing into compute.
