8 hours ago 1

Making the Fortune 500 list is no small feat, yet every year a fresh group of companies elbows its way in by displacing incumbents and reshuffling the ranks of American corporate power.

To make it on the list of the top 500 companies in the U.S. by revenue, a company has to meet strict requirements, including a minimum of $7.5 billion in revenue in 2026. This year 12 companies made it on the list for the first time across industries like crypto, mattresses, and natural gas.

Here are the companies making their debut on the Fortune 500 in the list’s 72nd year.

Galaxy Digital

Fortune 500 Rank: 76

Revenue: $61.3 billion

Just over a year after going public through a direct listing in May 2025, Galaxy Digital debuted on the Fortune 500 list at No. 76. The blockchain and digital assets company, which was founded in 2018 by billionaire and former Wall Street hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz, has seized on the increasing institutional adoption of crypto to supercharge its business. The company offers services like market making, asset management, and advisory services for institutional clients.
