The accomplishment is even more impressive considering it has been just two years since Nvidia passed $1 trillion in market cap. Apple and Amazon reached $1 trillion in 2018 and Microsoft followed suit in 2019.

Shares of Nvidia ended up 0.75 percent at $164.10, giving it a market value of $4.004 trillion as it benefits from an ongoing surge in demand for artificial-intelligence technologies. Nvidia’s stock market value briefly peaked above $4 trillion on Wednesday before closing at about $3.97 trillion.

Nvidia becomes first $4 trillion company at market close. Its stock has increased more than 870 percent since ChatGPT was released in late 2022.
