Rumors are circulating on X that NVIDIA (NVDA), the third-largest company globally in terms of market capitalization, will be adding an unspecified amount of Bitcoin to its balance sheet for “stability.” The unverified reports have been shared by crypto personalities like Crypto Beastreal and Jason A. Williams.
However, there is no official word from NVIDIA about making such a move. The last financial reports and SEC filings by the company show no sign of Bitcoin holdings.
It’s worth noting that other businesses, including MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Tesla (TSLA), have in the past put Bitcoin on their balance sheets. As of April 2025, companies that have Bitcoin on their balance sheets collectively own more than 630,000 BTC, representing over 3% of the circulating supply of Bitcoin.
If NVIDIA were to formally embrace Bitcoin, it may be able to surpass MicroStrategy, whose stock price has climbed almost 3,142% since it put the Bitcoin Standard into place back in August 2020. Currently, NVDA stock falls short of the MSTR stock’s performance with 916% returns reported in the same period.
Additionally, Yat Siu at TOKEN2049 pointed to whether businesses acquiring Bitcoin are actually believers or are simply trend-followers. This relates to speculation that NVIDIA is putting Bitcoin on its balance sheet, leaving one wondering if it is a strategic option or merely trendy.
As of writing, on May 1, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at about $96,409, and NVIDIA’s stock price is at about $112.90. Furthermore, NVIDIA is also having a great trading day today, with its stock increasing 4% to $113.28 on the NasdaqGS exchange.
In conclusion, while stories of NVIDIA adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet have made waves on social media, there is yet no formal verification. It is advisable to wait for an official announcement from NVIDIA before jumping to conclusions.
