Nvidia Surpasses Microsoft to Become World’s Most Valuable Company – BTC Follows Closely

The chipmaker, now ahead of Microsoft’s $3.415 trillion and Apple’s $3.017 trillion, continues to benefit from explosive demand for its AI-focused GPU technology, solidifying its leadership in the AI hardware sector.
Nvidia’s stock is up 5.21% on the day, propelling it to the top of the global market cap rankings. The rapid ascent underscores the market’s confidence in Nvidia’s dominance over the artificial intelligence supply chain, including data center infrastructure, autonomous systems, and enterprise-grade AI computing.
Gold remains the top overall asset by market value at $22.419 trillion, but Nvidia now leads among publicly listed companies, surpassing long-standing tech titans.
Bitcoin Holds 6th Place
Meanwhile, BTC retains the sixth position in global asset rankings with a market cap of $2.143 trillion, just behind Amazon and ahead of Alphabet (Google).
Despite a modest daily dip of -0.67%, Bitcoin’s growing relevance among institutional investors keeps it in close competition with the world’s largest corporations.
