What was the first trillion-dollar company?
The first publicly traded company to reach a valuation of one trillion dollars was tech giant Apple in August 2018. It was also the first company to surpass the $2tn mark in August 2020. Four more companies based in the United States have since followed and surpassed a $1trn market cap.
There are also a couple of companies that have reached the trillion-dollar mark but have since deteriorated in performance or are unavailable for everyday traders to access, which we will discuss further on.
Losses above are based on the full value of the position.
