Nvidia has become the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market valuation, marking a historic milestone driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence.

The achievement comes just three months after the chipmaker crossed $4 trillion, with shares surging following CEO Jensen Huang's announcement of $500 billion in AI chip orders and plans to build seven supercomputers for the U.S. government.

The rally was further fueled by news that President Trump would discuss Nvidia's Blackwell chips with Chinese President Xi Jinping, highlighting the company's central role in U.S.-China tech relations.

Since ChatGPT's 2022 launch, Nvidia's stock has climbed 12-fold, transforming the company from a graphics chip designer into the backbone of the AI industry. CEO Jensen Huang's stake is now worth approximately $179.2 billion, making him the world's eighth-richest person.

While some analysts warn of overheated valuations, Nvidia's dominance in AI chips remains unchallenged.
