Top traded stocks methodology: The rankings are based on the total executed value of buy orders placed by Freetrade customers from 1 January to 31 January 2025. The figures reflect buy-side activity only and do not account for sales, holding periods, or individual portfolio weightings.
Electric car giant Tesla was Freetrade’s most bought stock of the month, as the business appears to be pivoting away from vehicles, towards robotics and artificial intelligence. News of a potential merger with Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX may also have tempted investors.
Chipmaker Nvidia, the largest company on the planet by market cap, was the second most bought share on Freetrade. However, Freetrade users may have indulged in some profit-taking, having offloaded more of the stock than they purchased in January.
Fellow tech giants and Magnificent Seven members Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon come in a little lower as retail investor focus remains squarely on growth stocks with major exposure to AI.
That theme extends beyond the household names.
Chipmaker Micron Technology is the fourth most bought stock. The business is spending big on scale-ups in the US and Asia, with CEO Sanjay Mehrotra arguing that AI will lead to major long-term demand for memory.
Bitcoin-focused Strategy also features high on the list in spite of a challenging start to the year for crypto. Chief executive Michael Saylor remains bullish, and has spent the month amassing more Bitcoin.
Texas-based satellite designer AST SpaceMobile is a surprise entrant in the top 10. Viewed by some as an alternative to SpaceX, the company grabbed headlines this month with a high-profile US defence contract win.
Australian data centre firm IREN is another lesser-known face to feature. The outfit, which has pivoted from crypto mining to AI infrastructure, is set to release Q2 earnings on 5 February.
London-listed Rolls-Royce rounds out the top 10. The aerospace company has turned nto one of the London market’s major success stories following major restructuring. However, the weekend brought news the company has shelved Bond villain-esque plans for a nuclear reactor on the moon, proving even the greatest turnarounds have limits.
