WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - SpaceX has quietly filed for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission according to first report by Bloomberg. If everything goes as planned, this could lead to the biggest stock market launch in U.S. history.
A staggering valuation of about $1.75 trillion, and they're hoping to raise up to $75 billion through this offering, which would blow past previous record IPOs. By filing confidentially, SpaceX can keep its financial details private while regulators check out the application before it's made public.
Since its founding in 2002 by Elon Musk, SpaceX has shot to the top as the premier commercial launch provider and a key contractor for NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and other federal agencies. From 2008 onward, they've snagged over $24 billion in government contracts and, in 2025 alone, completed 165 orbital launches.
On top of that, SpaceX runs Starlink, which manages a fleet of about 10,000 low-Earth orbit satellites providing broadband services around the globe.
If the IPO goes through, Musk will make history by being the first person to lead two publicly traded companies worth over a trillion dollars, adding to his already vast influence in technology, transportation, and space.
