NVIDIA Achieves Record Q1 Revenue, Spurring AI and Bitcoin Mining Synergies
NVIDIA has reported an unprecedented quarterly revenue of $26 billion for Q1 2024, an increase of 18% from Q4 2023 and a remarkable 262% rise from the same quarter last year. This growth is primarily attributed to its Data Center division, which itself saw a record revenue of $22.6 billion, marking a 23% increase from the previous quarter and a 427% year-over-year surge. Following this financial achievement, NVIDIA has announced a ten-for-one forward stock split set to take effect on June 7, 2024.
This announcement has driven NVIDIA’s share price to surpass the $1,000 mark, reaching a pre-market trading price of $1,013, which is over a 6% increase according to Google data. Jensen Huang, the CEO and founder of NVIDIA, commented on the company’s pivotal role in the technological landscape, stating, “The next industrial revolution has begun — companies and countries are partnering with NVIDIA to transform trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and create AI factories to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence.”
This significant growth in NVIDIA’s market presence is having a broad impact across various sectors. Notably, publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies are beginning to diversify into AI cloud services. Leveraging NVIDIA GPUs, such as the H100s, these companies are enhancing their cost and energy efficiency while broadening their revenue bases. This shift illustrates a growing convergence between AI technology and Bitcoin mining industries.
The Kobeissi Letter notes that NVIDIA has ascended to become the third largest publicly traded company globally, now just 17% smaller than Apple and surpassing the combined market capitalization of Tesla and Amazon. This monumental rise underscores NVIDIA’s influential position in driving forward both the AI and cryptocurrency mining sectors, heralding new business models and revenue opportunities in the tech world.
