SpaceX IPO: Buckle up, as the clock to what may be the largest IPO ever in the world has commenced unofficially. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, has made the news again, and this time it is not related to rockets or Mars but Wall Street. It is reported that the private space giant is preparing a blockbuster IPO in 2026, and the figures alone are enough to spin the heads of investors.
Bloomberg states that SpaceX has approved a sale of insider shares valuing the company at an astounding $800 billion. It is not merely a valuation, but a statement. Shares are being offered to insiders at $421 apiece, and in a boost to confidence, SpaceX plans to repurchase $2.56 billion worth of shares, as The New York Times reported. Translation? The company believes it has not yet seen its best days.
The excitement does not end there. Reuters had earlier reported that SpaceX could raise more than $25 billion through an IPO, which could push its valuation to the holy grail of $1 trillion. Yes, trillion, with a “T”.
And when speculation needed a little jolt, Elon Musk dropped a subtle hint during a social media conversation with Ars Technica editor Eric Berger. That was enough to send the rumour mill into overdrive.
If this IPO takes off as scheduled, it will not only make history, but help redefine it.
