SpaceX IPO: $75B Raise at $135/Share Targets June 12

📌 UPDATE — June 11, 2026

SpaceX has officially confirmed its IPO price at $135 per share ahead of tomorrow's Nasdaq debut, with the company's valuation now pegged at a historic $1.77 trillion — making it one of the most valuable public companies at listing. Early employees are reportedly describing the event as "life-changing," with SpaceX's first-ever employee among those publicly reacting to the milestone. The $135 price point aligns with earlier reporting, but the $1.77T valuation figure is a notable new detail that underscores the scale of investor demand heading into Friday's open.

The equity issuance language buried in SpaceX's regulatory filings is no longer speculative. According to its S-1 registration filed with the SEC on May 20, 2026, SpaceX is targeting what could be the largest IPO in history — a $75 billion raise at a fixed price of $135 per share, with a Nasdaq debut set for June 12, 2026 under the ticker SPCX.

The Numbers Behind the Offering

SpaceX plans to sell approximately 555.6 million Class A common shares. At $135 per share, the math puts the total raise at $75 billion — all of which, according to the S-1 filing, flows directly into SpaceX's operating capital rather than providing early investor exits. That's a meaningful signal: this isn't a liquidity event for insiders. It's a war chest for future growth.

The target valuation sits between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, with most reports converging around $1.77–$1.8 trillion. For context, that would place SpaceX among the most valuable companies on the planet at the moment of listing.

What the Financials Actually Show

SpaceX generated $18.7 billion in total revenue for full-year 2025, a 33% year-over-year increase from $14.1 billion in 2024. Starlink alone contributed $11.4 billion — 61% of total revenue — and has grown to over 9,800 operational satellites serving more than 10 million subscribers across 100 countries as of June 2026.

The headline risk: SpaceX posted a GAAP net loss of $4.94 billion for full-year 2025, and a further $4.28 billion loss in Q1 2026 alone. The company is burning cash at scale, which makes the $75 billion raise less of a victory lap and more of a strategic necessity. Investors buying into SPCX are betting on a long runway to profitability, not near-term earnings.

Context: xAI Merger and the Bigger Picture

One piece of recent history worth keeping in mind: in February 2026, xAI merged with SpaceX at a combined valuation of $1.25 trillion, with xAI valued at approximately $80 billion in the transaction. That merger likely accelerated the IPO timeline and may partly explain the scale of the equity issuance — integrating AI infrastructure at that level requires significant capital.

Demand signals heading into pricing look strong. Institutional oversubscription orders reportedly exceed $10 billion, and SpaceX separately increased its Japanese retail fundraising target by 25% — from $2 billion to $2.5 billion — due to strong local demand.

Whether the June 12 debut holds and whether SPCX opens above or below the $135 fixed price will be the first real market verdict on what SpaceX's ambitions are actually worth. For our SpaceX coverage, we'll be tracking the debut closely.
