**TSMC Hits Trillion-Dollar Milestone**

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) briefly surpassed Berkshire Hathaway on June 20, becoming the first Asian firm to reach a market cap of over a trillion dollars. This milestone places TSMC as the eighth most valuable company globally, thanks to its extensive portfolio of tech giants like Apple, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.

TSMC's semiconductors are crucial for cryptocurrency mining, with Bitmain's Antminer models and Samsung's mining operations relying heavily on its chips. Despite a retreat to $859.69 billion, TSMC remains a dominant force in the semiconductor industry, poised for future growth alongside tech and AI advancements.
