SpaceX IPO 2026: Elon Musk Targets $1.5 Trillion Valuation & Historic $30B Raise
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is reportedly preparing for a history-making initial public offering (IPO) in 2026 that could reshape the global financial landscape.
According to recent reports, the aerospace giant is targeting a valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion, aiming to raise over $30 billion. If successful, this would eclipse Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion debut in 2019, making it the largest IPO in history.
Why the massive number? Investors aren't just buying into rockets. The capital is expected to fuel three ambitious pillars:
- Starlink: The continued expansion of its global satellite internet network.
- Starship: Funding the massive vehicle designed to carry humanity to Mars.
- Space-Based AI: A new initiative to build orbital data centers, positioning SpaceX as a key player in the artificial intelligence revolution.
Official Word While rumors of a SpaceX IPO have circulated for years, this time appears different. Elon Musk recently seemingly validated the reports on social media. Replying to an Ars Technica article by Eric Berger that detailed these specific IPO plans and the pivot to space-based data centers, Musk posted on X: "As usual, Eric is accurate."
This rare acknowledgment from Musk suggests the company is seriously moving toward public markets, aiming to secure the capital needed to make life multi-planetary.
