NVIDIA crosses 5 trillion valuation: How big is it versus other tech companies?

The year is 2025, and Wall Street has a new black hole. It hums in neon green, devours market caps, and answers only to Jensen Huang. Its name? NVIDIA.

Survey

What began as a scrappy graphics card company for gamers has turned into a force of economic physics, a celestial body so massive that it’s bending the orbit of global finance itself. NVIDIA didn’t just cross $5 trillion in market value, it rewrote the rules of what a company can be. This isn’t a business anymore; it’s a phenomenon.

The republic of silicon

If NVIDIA were a country, its flag would shimmer with circuits, and its GDP would be measured in teraflops. With a market capitalization of $5 trillion, “Team Green” now sits shoulder-to-shoulder with entire civilizations. The comparisons no longer sound hyperbolic, they’re factual.

That’s not just corporate success, that’s geoeconomic distortion.
NVIDIA’s gravity has become inescapable. Every investor, policymaker, and CEO now orbits around its chips, its software stack, and its CEO’s signature leather jacket.

The message from the markets is clear: the future of AI is worth more than the industrial past of nations.

Overthrowing the old tech gods

For most of the 21st century, Apple and Microsoft ruled the trillion-dollar club. They were the twin suns of the tech universe. Now, NVIDIA has outshone them both, and burned a trillion dollars brighter.

At over $5 trillion, NVIDIA stands a full $1 trillion ahead of its nearest rivals. Apple ($4.0T) and Microsoft ($4.03T) together barely outweigh one NVIDIA. The company that once made “graphics cards for gamers” now commands more value than the kings of software and smartphones combined.

Amazon, at $2.44 trillion, looks almost humble by comparison. You could buy all of Amazon – warehouses, web services, and all – and still have enough leftover cash to pick up nearly all of Meta Platforms ($1.89T). The FAANG era didn’t fade quietly; it was swallowed whole by the AI singularity.

The platinum age of compute

NVIDIA’s ascent marks a tectonic shift in capitalism’s hierarchy. The golden age of software is over, we’re in the platinum age of silicon.

While others chased subscriptions, operating systems, and social graphs, NVIDIA spent the past decade building the engines of intelligence, the chips that run every large language model, every autonomous car, every synthetic simulation of reality. It isn’t selling a product; it’s selling the infrastructure of thought.

That’s why the market treats NVIDIA not as a company, but as a civilization. Its valuation is a bet that AI will remake everything, from how we work to how we wage wars. Every datacenter built today hums to the rhythm of NVIDIA’s silicon heartbeat.

The new center of gravity

In 2025, the world’s financial atlas has redrawn itself around a green dot. NVIDIA’s influence now stretches far beyond semiconductors – into geopolitics, supply chains, and national security. Governments court Jensen Huang the way they once courted oil magnates.

The old economy ran on fuel. The new one runs on compute and NVIDIA owns the refinery.
NVIDIA isn’t a company anymore. It’s the planet everything else now orbits.
