When Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, it was little more than an online bookstore operating out of a garage. Few could have imagined that three decades later, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) would be one of the most influential corporations in the world, shaping not just e-commerce, but also cloud computing, digital media, logistics, and artificial intelligence.
Amazon’s stock (AMZN) has long been a staple of investor portfolios, widely regarded as a barometer for innovation and growth in the tech sector. And now, Hotcoin users can gain exposure to Amazon’s remarkable story in a new way: AMZNX, a tokenized version of Amazon’s stock, available 24/7 on Hotcoin’s xStocks platform.
A Brief History of Amazon
1994–1999: The Beginning
Amazon started as an online bookstore, but Bezos’ vision was clear from the outset: build “the everything store.” By the late 1990s, Amazon was selling CDs, DVDs, and electronics. In 1997, Amazon went public at $18 per share.
2000–2010: Surviving the Dot-com Bust and Expanding
The dot-com bubble of 2000 wiped out many internet startups, but Amazon survived by diversifying its product lines and focusing on customer service. The launch of Amazon Prime in 2005 introduced a subscription model that cemented customer loyalty. In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was born, offering on-demand cloud computing. What began as a side business eventually became the company’s most profitable division.
2010–2020: Becoming a Tech Giant
Amazon expanded globally, invested in logistics, and entered new industries. The Kindle changed how people consumed books; Alexa and Echo brought AI assistants into homes; and AWS became the backbone of the internet economy. By the late 2010s, Amazon was no longer “just” a retailer. It had become a cloud leader, a media distributor (through Prime Video), and a logistics powerhouse.
2020–2025: Consolidation and New Frontiers
The pandemic accelerated e-commerce and cloud adoption, giving Amazon record revenues. Today, Amazon is valued in the trillions, with Andy Jassy, former AWS chief, succeeding Jeff Bezos as CEO in 2021. The company continues to expand into AI, healthcare, advertising, and satellite internet (Project Kuiper).
