Nvidia’s AI-Driven Earnings Surge Sparks Modest Gains in AICoin and AI Tokens

Nvidia’s stock surged 4.8% in after-hours trading following a strong Q1 2025 earnings report, showcasing a 69% annual revenue increase to $44.1 billion. Net income climbed 26% to $18.7 billion, largely fueled by the Data Center segment, which contributed 88% of total revenue. Despite a $4.5 billion charge from export restrictions impacting gross margins, CEO Jensen Huang highlighted skyrocketing global demand for AI infrastructure.

AI tokens saw a modest 0.6% uptick on the news, indicating a tempered reaction in the crypto market. The results underscore Nvidia’s leadership in AI computing, with Huang likening AI adoption to critical infrastructure such as electricity. Notably, inference token generation grew tenfold year-over-year, pointing to rapid enterprise adoption.
