This growth was significantly driven by its Data Center division, which reported a record revenue of $22.6 billion, up 23% from the previous quarter and an impressive 427% year-over-year increase. Following these impressive results, NVIDIA announced a ten-for-one forward stock split, which will be effective on June 7, 2024.
This news has propelled NVIDIA’s share price above $1,000, with a pre-market trading price of $1,013, reflecting a more than 6% increase, according to Google data.
According to NVIDIA newsroom, Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO and founder, remarked on the transformative potential of their technology, stating,
“The next industrial revolution has begun — companies and countries are partnering with NVIDIA to shift the trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and build a new type of data center — AI factories — to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence.”
This surge in NVIDIA’s market presence is influencing various sectors, including publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies, which are now diversifying into AI cloud services. These companies are utilizing NVIDIA GPUs, such as the H100s, to enhance cost and energy efficiency while diversifying revenue streams, demonstrating the convergence between AI and Bitcoin mining.
