SpaceX Plans 2026 IPO with Valuation Surpassing $1 Trillion
SpaceX aims to go public in 2026 with a valuation exceeding $1 trillion, according to reports from Bloomberg and Reuters. Bloomberg indicates that SpaceX seeks to raise more than $30 billion and target a valuation around $1.5 trillion, while Reuters reports the company plans to raise over $25 billion at a valuation above $1 trillion. Achieving a valuation over $1 trillion would place SpaceX among the ten largest U.S.-listed companies.
Proceeds from the initial public offering (IPO) are expected to finance space-based data centers and related chip procurement, a concept that has attracted interest from SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. This move aligns with SpaceX's ongoing development of Starship, described as the biggest and most powerful rocket, which achieved a significant milestone with a successful test flight in October.
In addition to its spacecraft development, SpaceX operates launches for NASA and runs the Starlink satellite internet service. Reports also indicate a secondary share sale is planned, permitting insiders to sell shares to other investors at a valuation near $800 billion.
