Nvidia Reaches $4 Trillion Market Cap, Delta Soars on Q2 Earnings, Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High.

Nvidia's market cap reached $4 trillion, and its shares rose as investors anticipate strong demand for AI chips. Delta Air Lines beat Q2 earnings estimates and raised its dividend by 25%, boosting shares 14%. Bitcoin prices reached an all-time high, surpassing $112,000, and driving gains in crypto plays such as Circle and Robinhood.

Nvidia (NVDA) has made history by becoming the first publicly traded company to reach a $4 trillion market value. The chipmaker's shares rose 0.3% in premarket trading, following Wednesday's close at a record high, which was nearly 2% for the day. This significant milestone comes as Nvidia continues to capitalize on the generative AI hype that began with OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022 [1].

Nvidia's stock price has been on a roller coaster this year, but it has managed to bounce back from a $600 million market cap hit in January. The company's chips, modified graphics cards, and CUDA software platform are designed to both train and run AI programs, giving it a strategic advantage over rivals like AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC) [1].

Delta Air Lines (DAL) also made headlines with its Q2 earnings report. The airline beat estimates, reporting adjusted earnings per share of $2.10, up from the expected $2.05. Revenue came in at $15.51 billion, slightly above the projected $15.48 billion. Delta's shares rose 14% following the announcement, driven by a 25% increase in its dividend [2].

Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high of $112,000, driven by a surge in purchases by large investors, or "whales." This move comes after a period of inactivity and a decrease in small-wallet transactions. The price surge was swift and powerful, reaching $111,881 in a single massive move. Ethereum (ETH) also maintained its position above $2,530, with over 84% of its holders in profit [4].

The cryptocurrency market has seen a notable upswing, with Bitcoin achieving a new all-time high surpassing $112,000. This surge is attributed to several factors, including a decline in small-wallet activity and increased purchases by large investors, known as whales. According to on-chain data, Bitcoin's price surged after a period of inactivity and a decrease in small-wallet transactions [4].
