SpaceX IPO: Reportedly Planning 2026 Launch with $1.5T Valuation

SpaceX's Anticipated Public Offering

According to a recent report from Bloomberg News, citing several anonymous sources, SpaceX is targeting a public offering sometime between the middle and end of 2026.

The company intends to secure $30 billion in funding through this IPO, with an estimated valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion.

Potential Record-Breaking IPO

Should this valuation be realized, the IPO would represent the largest in history. It would surpass the 2019 public listing of Saudi Aramco, which generated $29 billion.

This plan marks a shift in strategy for SpaceX. Previously, the company had explored the possibility of an IPO for its Starlink division, while remaining a privately held entity.

Confirmation from Multiple Sources

Bloomberg’s reporting follows initial news from The Information, which first indicated SpaceX’s aim for a late 2026 IPO.

Further corroboration came from The Wall Street Journal, which revealed SpaceX was conducting another secondary share sale for its employees.

Recent Share Sale Details

This secondary sale would value the company at around $800 billion. Bloomberg reports that the share sale has been finalized, and the valuation now exceeds $800 billion.

Employees are now permitted to sell approximately $2 billion worth of shares at a price of $420 per share.

Note: A correction has been made to reflect the $1.5 trillion valuation in the headline, rather than the previously stated $1.5 billion.
