Nvidia Tops Microsoft: 4 Numbers Behind the $1T Surge

Hey friends,

I’ve got something big to share today—Nvidia just passed Microsoft in market value, and the numbers behind this $1 trillion surge are honestly mind-blowing. If you've been following the AI revolution like I have, you’ll understand how historic this moment is. But if you're still catching up, don’t worry—I’m going to break it all down in a super simple way.

Let’s dive into the 4 key numbers that explain why Nvidia is now sitting at the top of the tech world.

StartEngine lets everyday investors buy into startups and private companies before they go public — the kind of deals usually reserved for millionaires and insiders.

StartEngine’s $30M Surge — Own a Piece Before June 26

Private markets are having a moment, thanks to companies like StartEngine.

The leading alternative investing platform is helping everyday investors like you access deals once reserved for VCs and insiders, including exposure to private market titans like OpenAI, Databricks, and Perplexity.¹

How’s it going? In Q1 2025, StartEngine pulled off $30M in revenue, its biggest quarter ever (based on unaudited financials).²

But StartEngine isn’t just a middleman. The company earns 20% carried interest on select pre-IPO offerings, unlocking value for shareholders when these deals succeed.³

How can you tap into this diversification play? By investing in StartEngine.

StartEngine has crowdfunded $85M+ to date, and you can join 45K+ shareholders before the company’s current round closes on June 26.

1. $1.04 Trillion in Market Value Gain in 2025

Yes, you read that right. Nvidia added more than $1 trillion in market cap this year alone. That’s not just big—it’s historic. For context, that’s more than the entire GDP of the Netherlands.

What caused this explosion? The short answer: AI.

Nvidia makes the chips that power artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT, autonomous cars, robotics, and more. As AI demand surged globally, Nvidia became the heart and brain of the revolution.

When you’re the one selling shovels in a gold rush, you win big. That’s exactly what happened with Nvidia.

2. $28 Billion in Quarterly Revenue—Up 262%

In its latest earnings report, Nvidia posted nearly $28 billion in revenue, a 262% increase from the same time last year. That’s not just strong—that’s monster growth. Very few companies in the S&P 500 grow that fast, especially after they’re already giants.

Most of this revenue came from Nvidia’s Data Center business, which includes chips used in AI training and cloud computing. It’s the lifeblood of AI development.

CEO Jensen Huang called it the “tipping point” for generative AI adoption—and I agree. Companies around the world are racing to build smarter AI systems, and they all need Nvidia’s chips to do it.

3. Gross Margin Surging to 78.9%

Profitability is just as important as growth—and Nvidia isn’t just growing fast, it’s insanely profitable. The company now boasts a 78.9% gross margin, one of the highest in the entire tech industry.

That means for every dollar Nvidia earns, they keep nearly 79 cents before expenses. Most tech firms would kill for margins above 60%.

Why are margins so fat? Because Nvidia dominates its market, and its products are hard to replace. They can charge premium prices, and customers still line up.

This margin strength gives Nvidia room to invest in R&D, buy back shares, or expand without breaking a sweat.

4. $15 Trillion Total Addressable Market by 2030

Here’s the big picture: Nvidia is chasing a $15 trillion opportunity in AI, robotics, autonomous driving, and digital twins by 2030.

That’s not just hope—it’s based on real data. Industries from finance to healthcare are shifting to AI, and Nvidia is building the tools to make it all happen.

Just think about that. If Nvidia captures even 10% of that massive pie, we could see another trillion in value added to its stock.

This isn't a short-term hype story—it’s a foundational shift in how the world runs.

Why This Matters to Us as Investors

Now, you might be wondering: Should I buy Nvidia stock now? Or is it already too late?

Here’s my take: Nvidia is expensive, yes. But in tech, the leader often stays the leader longer than people expect. Microsoft held that crown for decades. Apple too. Nvidia may now be entering that same era.

That said, don’t rush in blindly. Here are a few thoughts:

• If you already own Nvidia, congrats! Consider holding tight and trimming only if it's too large a portion of your portfolio.

• If you don’t own Nvidia yet, maybe start small. Use dollar-cost averaging to ease in.

• If you’re risk-averse, consider AI ETFs that include Nvidia. You’ll get exposure without betting the farm.

But Wait, What About Microsoft?

Let’s not forget—Microsoft is still a beast. It’s one of the biggest backers of OpenAI (maker of ChatGPT), and it’s deeply embedded in enterprise tech. In fact, Nvidia and Microsoft often work together in the AI space.

So this isn’t a winner-takes-all battle. It’s more like a relay race where both companies are pushing the tech world forward.

Still, Nvidia’s growth pace is unmatched. That’s why it just claimed the crown.

Lessons We Can Learn From Nvidia’s Rise

Watching Nvidia surge past Microsoft taught me a few key lessons that I think apply to all of us:

1. Trends Matter – Being early in the right trend (like AI) makes a huge difference.

2. Pick the Picks-and-Shovels – Nvidia doesn’t build AI apps—it sells the tools to build them. That’s powerful.

3. Margins Are King – Strong margins give companies flexibility in any market.

4. Leadership Counts – CEO Jensen Huang is a visionary, and that’s rare.

5. Stay Invested – This surge didn’t happen in a week. It took years of compounding and holding.

What You Should Do Now

If you’re excited about AI but don’t know where to start, here’s my advice:

• Start learning about the AI ecosystem. Read about Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, and others.

• Don’t chase hype stocks. Look at their business models, profitability, and long-term vision.

• Use a long-term mindset. Nvidia’s current price reflects future expectations. Make sure you’re ready to ride through the ups and downs.

• Diversify. Even if Nvidia is winning today, don’t put all your money in one name.

Final Takeaways

Nvidia overtaking Microsoft is a headline moment. But it’s not the end of the story—it’s just the beginning of the next tech era. We’re entering a world where AI powers everything—from search engines to surgery to smart cities.

And Nvidia? It’s the engine running under the hood.

So whether or not you own the stock, keep an eye on this company. It's not just a chipmaker anymore. It's a symbol of what’s coming.

And as always, stay curious, stay consistent, and remember: smart investing is long-term investing.
