Based on the $135 per share price, SpaceX is valued at approximately $1.77 trillion [2]. This valuation places the company among the most valuable entities in the world, a milestone driven by its dominance in satellite launches and reusable rocket technology.
The total size of the IPO is $75 billion [3]. The company said it intends to use these funds to further develop its space-and-AI conglomerate [5].
Founded by Elon Musk, SpaceX has long been one of the most valuable private companies in the U.S. [1]. By moving to the Nasdaq, the company opens its ownership to a broader range of institutional, and retail investors [4].
Financial analysts said that the $75 billion offering [3] is designed to sustain the high capital expenditures required for deep-space exploration, and the expansion of its global satellite internet infrastructure [5].

By achieving a $1.77 trillion valuation, the company demonstrates that investors view space infrastructure and AI integration as primary drivers of future economic growth. This massive capital raise allows SpaceX to accelerate its development timelines without relying solely on private funding rounds, potentially cementing its lead over global competitors in the launch market.
