Cryptocurrencies: Nvidia aligns with Trump, a charm offensive that pays off
Mon Dec 15 2025 ▪ 5 min read
By 2025, Nvidia will no longer be just a capital-generating machine. The company has found another source of momentum, this time political. Donald Trump, despite the opposition from some members of his own party, has chosen to open a very expensive door for them.
In brief
Nvidia saw its market capitalization increase and Trump decided to make it a strategic partner, despite the resistance within his own camp.
Jensen Huang gained direct access to the White House and had significant influence in the battle over chip exports to China.
This power struggle over “computing” shows how politics drives liquidity and can also influence narratives in the cryptocurrency market.
Nvidia and Trump: an alliance that surprises Washington
Driven by the demand for artificial intelligence and its global expansion, Nvidia saw its market capitalization soar to $4.68 trillion. At this level, Washington could no longer ignore it, with or without cryptocurrencies. Until recently, Jensen Huang was virtually invisible in power circles. Then, everything accelerated, too quickly for his competitors, who are still searching for the perfect formula.
The change materializes in a straightforward agreement to summarize, but complex to digest, with or without cryptocurrencies. The White House approved the export of H200 chips to China, following direct conversations between Jensen and Trump. The U.S. government would receive 25% of the sales.
Trump even admitted he had not heard of Nvidia or Jensen. However, he ultimately ignored the voices of his MAGA coalition and allowed the company to move forward. It was not a sentimental gesture. It was a power decision, one that the markets, including the cryptocurrency market, are taking note of.
