SpaceX sets record $135 IPO price, eyes $1.75T valuation
By Aurax Desk | June 4, 2026 | 2 min read
SpaceX has moved closer to a historic public market debut after setting a fixed share price of $135 for its initial public offering, a structure expected to raise about $75 billion and value the company at roughly $1.75 trillion. The offering would mark the largest IPO in history and place the rocket and satellite company among the most valuable firms ever listed in the United States.
SpaceX’s rocket launches have positioned the company as a dominant force in commercial spaceflight ahead of its planned IPO.
The company’s pricing decision, confirmed in regulatory filings and investor updates, departs from traditional Wall Street IPO processes, which typically rely on a price range established during a roadshow. Under the plan, SpaceX intends to sell roughly 555.6 million shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, with trading expected to begin later this month. The structure reflects an unusually direct pricing strategy designed to lock in demand ahead of the debut.
The offering comes as SpaceX expands beyond its core rocket launch business into satellite internet through Starlink and broader ambitions involving space-based infrastructure and artificial intelligence systems. Despite reporting multibillion-dollar losses in recent financial disclosures, the company has posted strong revenue growth, driven in part by increased commercial and government demand for launch services and communications systems. Elon Musk, who founded the company in 2002, is expected to retain majority voting control after the listing through a dual-class share structure.
The SpaceX IPO is expected to be the largest in history, drawing global attention from investors and markets.
The IPO has also drawn attention because of its potential impact on global markets and index funds, with analysts noting its size could make it one of the most influential new listings in decades. The valuation would place SpaceX among the top tier of publicly traded U.S. companies and could significantly reshape technology and aerospace investment flows.
