In a historic market milestone, Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company in June 2025, with its market capitalization reaching a staggering $3.92 trillion. This monumental rise allowed the chipmaker to surpass tech giants Apple and Microsoft, fueled by the global surge in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) processors.
Under the visionary leadership of CEO Jensen Huang, Nvidia has transformed into the backbone of the AI revolution. On Thursday, the company’s market value briefly touched $3.915 trillion, outpacing Apple and claiming the top spot as the most valuable business in history—a title last held by Apple in December 2024.
By the market close, Nvidia was valued at $3.89 trillion, ahead of Microsoft at $3.7 trillion and Apple at $3.19 trillion. This leap highlights the confidence Wall Street places in Nvidia’s central role in powering generative AI technologies.
According to Reuters, Nvidia’s meteoric rise is driven by institutional and retail investors betting big on the future of AI. The company’s high-performance GPUs are crucial for training and running large AI models, making Nvidia the go-to supplier in this booming sector. The excitement surrounding AI innovation has made Nvidia’s stock a heavyweight within popular S&P 500 index funds, thereby increasing many investors’ exposure to the AI ecosystem.
Incredibly, Nvidia’s market cap now exceeds the total value of the entire stock markets in Canada and Mexico combined. It also surpasses the combined value of all publicly traded companies in the United Kingdom—a powerful testament to the company’s dominance in the tech world.
As generative AI continues reshaping industries from healthcare to finance, Nvidia’s hardware remains at the center of this transformation, making it not just a chipmaker, but a key player in the future of technology.
With history made and investor confidence soaring, Nvidia’s rise reflects the growing realization that AI is not just a trend, but the next industrial revolution—one powered by silicon and vision.
