Applegoes downinhistoryas the first publicly-traded company with a market value of over $ 3 trillion

In the year 2020, we informed you that Apple was crowned as the most publicly-traded company in the world.

At the time, Apple had a market cap of $ 1.84 trillion, 17 months after it had just surpassed the $ 3 trillion mark.

Apple became the first publicly-traded company to cross the $ 3 trillion market value mark, and Microsoft now has a market cap of $ 2.6 trillion.

However, it must be understood that this $ 3 trillion market value does not mean that the company has $ 3 trillion in cash or assets, which is purely symbolic.

And when compared to the value of this $ 3 trillion, it is higher than the GDP of the United Kingdom, India, France, Italy, Canada and South Korea.
