SpaceX Corp. is planning an initial public offering to raise between $75 billion [1] and $80 billion [2] this month.
The move would mark the public debut of one of the world's most valuable private companies, providing the capital necessary to scale its ambitious satellite and artificial intelligence ventures.
According to a source familiar with the matter, SpaceX plans to fix its IPO price at $135 per share to raise a record-setting $75 billion [1]. While Reuters reports a $75 billion target [1], other reports suggest the company may seek $80 billion or more [2].
Company filings released in May 2026 indicate a likely debut on the Nasdaq exchange [3]. The company is headquartered in Hawthorne, California [4].
Analysts suggest the move could result in a valuation ranging from $1.7 trillion to $2.0 trillion [5]. Such a valuation would be historic for the aerospace industry, potentially making Elon Musk the first-ever trillionaire [6].
"Elon Musk's SpaceX unveiled plans Wednesday to set a $135 share price in its initial public offering, for a sale worth $75 billion," CNN Business said [6].
The capital raise is intended to fund the company's growth in space exploration, AI, and satellite technology [7]. This transition to a public company follows years of private funding rounds that propelled the company's valuation into the trillions [5].
"SpaceX's official IPO filing sets up a likely Nasdaq debut next month," a CNBC reporter said [3].

A SpaceX IPO of this magnitude would represent the largest public offering in history, fundamentally shifting the financial landscape of the private space race. By transitioning to a public entity, the company gains a massive liquidity event to fund Starship development and the Starlink constellation, while simultaneously tying the personal wealth of Elon Musk to the public market's volatility.
