SpaceX is planning an initial public offering on June 12, 2026, in what may be the largest IPO in history [6].
The move marks a pivotal shift for the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, transitioning from a private entity to a publicly traded company. This transition allows ordinary investors to own a stake in the firm while providing the company with a massive influx of liquidity for future operations.
To raise the capital, SpaceX intends to offer 555.6 million shares [2] at a proposed price of $135 per share [3]. These figures align with a goal to generate approximately $75 billion in total proceeds [4]. The company is targeting a valuation of up to $2 trillion [1] as it enters the public market.
Unlike many high-profile offerings that prioritize institutional buyers, SpaceX may open a significant portion of the offering to the general public. Up to 30 percent of the shares could be allocated specifically to individual investors [5].
This capital raise comes as the company continues to expand its launch capabilities and satellite infrastructure. The scale of the offering reflects the company's dominant position in the global launch market, a position it has leveraged to maintain a high private valuation for years.
Investors are closely watching the June 12 date to see if the $2 trillion valuation holds under public scrutiny. The offering's success will likely depend on the company's ability to maintain its current growth trajectory and the appetite of retail investors for high-growth aerospace stocks.

A $2 trillion valuation would place SpaceX among the most valuable companies in the world, signaling a belief that space infrastructure is a primary driver of future economic growth. By allocating a large percentage of shares to individual investors, the company is diversifying its ownership base and potentially insulating itself from the influence of a few large institutional shareholders.
