SpaceX Valuation: Reportedly in Talks for $800B Sale

SpaceX Valuation Soars to $800 Billion

Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal indicate that SpaceX is initiating a secondary share sale.

This sale would establish a company valuation of $800 billion for Elon Musk’s aerospace manufacturer.

This represents a doubling of its previous valuation of $400 billion.

Surpassing OpenAI in Value

The potential $800 billion valuation would position SpaceX as the most valuable private company in the United States.

This would surpass OpenAI, which currently holds that distinction.

Mega-Valuations in Private Markets

The substantial figure highlights the increasing prevalence of extremely high valuations within the private market sector.

OpenAI is currently valued at $500 billion.

Anthropic, meanwhile, reportedly experienced a surge to $350 billion last month.

This increase followed significant investments from both Microsoft and Nvidia.

Previously, Anthropic was valued at $183 billion just a few months prior.

Benefits of Remaining Private

These companies are now capable of achieving valuations comparable to those seen in public markets.

However, they are able to do so while maintaining their private status.

Secondary sales are a key factor, offering liquidity to investors without the pressures of regular quarterly earnings reports.

SpaceX's Market Position

Founded in 2002, SpaceX currently leads the commercial rocket launch industry.

The company also operates Starlink, a satellite internet service.

As of November, Starlink boasts over 8 million subscribers worldwide.

SpaceX has not yet issued a comment regarding the Wall Street Journal’s report on the share sale.

The size of the offering was not detailed in the WSJ report.
