Nvidia became the first company on Earth worth $5T (£3.77T) on 29 October 2025, and the chips that got it there were a bet placed 20 years earlier on computing almost nobody wanted. If you hold a pension or a tracker fund, you already own a slice of that wager.
The milestone came when Nvidia shares closed up more than 3% at about $207, lifting its market value to $5.03T, according to Nasdaq trading data. Three months earlier, it had been worth $4T. A decade ago, the whole company was valued at roughly $10B (£7.5B).
