Nvidia is on the verge of becoming the first company in history worth $5 trillion, following a surge in demand for its artificial intelligence processors and a groundbreaking partnership with the U.S. government.

The tech giant announced $500 billion in confirmed bookings for its next-generation AI chips and revealed plans to build seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy—solidifying America’s lead in the global AI race. Nvidia’s stock jumped nearly 5% on the news, pushing its market capitalization to within reach of the record-breaking $5 trillion mark, surpassing previous highs of $4 trillion set earlier in 2025.

CEO Jensen Huang showcased the company’s explosive growth during a series of events highlighting Nvidia’s role at the heart of America’s AI infrastructure. The new supercomputers—each equipped with more than 100,000 Blackwell processors—will accelerate research in defense, energy, and advanced computing, creating jobs and reinforcing U.S. technological supremacy.

Huang credited the U.S. government’s pro-industry policies for fueling Nvidia’s rapid ascent, while acknowledging the challenges of restricted trade with China due to export controls. He expressed hope that negotiations could eventually allow selective re-entry into the Chinese market without compromising national security.

Nvidia’s meteoric rise underscores the success of the Trump administration’s focus on domestic production, innovation, and strategic investment in artificial intelligence. With American companies leading the charge in chipmaking, energy, and defense technology, the U.S. is positioned not just to compete—but to dominate—in the global AI era.
