$1.77 trillion! SpaceX is about to become the 7th-most valuable American company
SpaceX plans a $75 billion IPO on June 12, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion and positioning it as the 7th-most valuable American firm, behind NVIDIA, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Broadcom. The funds will support expansion into AI, including plans for one million off-Earth AI data centers launched via its Starship rocket, while also reinforcing its dominance in satellite launches and telecommunications with Starlink." "article": "SpaceX announced plans for an initial public offering (IPO) set to begin trading on June 12 under the ticker symbol SPCX on Nasdaq. The company will sell 555.6 million shares at $135 each, raising $75 billion—a record for an IPO—and valuing SpaceX at $1.77 trillion, placing it among the top seven most valuable U.S. firms, according to CNBC. This surpasses the previous IPO record of $21.8 billion set by Alibaba in 2014. The funding will accelerate SpaceX’s ambitions beyond satellite launches and Starlink broadband, which accounted for 85% of global launches in 2025 and over 75% of active satellites. The company recently acquired xAI, Elon Musk’s AI startup behind the Grok chatbot and X (formerly Twitter), and plans to deploy one million AI data centers in orbit using its Starship rocket. Starship, the largest reusable rocket ever built, completed its 12th test flight on May 22, though it remains in development. SpaceX’s long-term vision targets a $28.5 trillion total addressable market, nearly $23 trillion of which is attributed to enterprise AI applications. This exceeds the 2025 U.S. GDP of $30.8 trillion, reflecting ambitions to integrate AI into space infrastructure. The company’s IPO filings highlight plans to expand AI capabilities globally, including through orbital data centers designed to operate independently of Earth-based systems. While SpaceX dominates the launch market, its AI ventures—such as xAI’s supercomputer cluster in Tennessee and future orbital deployments—signal a shift toward merging space and AI technologies. The IPO proceeds will also support Starship’s development, critical for transporting both satellites and AI infrastructure into orbit. Analysts note the move could redefine industries, from telecommunications to AI-driven enterprise solutions, leveraging SpaceX’s existing dominance in satellite launches.
