SpaceX IPO draws $150B in investor demand, doubling the $75B offering size

SpaceX is about to do what it does best: make history. Investor demand for the company’s initial public offering has reached roughly $150 billion, approximately double the $75 billion offering size, positioning it as the largest IPO ever conducted.

To put that in perspective, the previous record holder was Saudi Aramco’s 2019 debut. Shares are priced at $135 each, which would value the company between $1.77 trillion and $1.8 trillion when it begins trading on Nasdaq.

The timeline and the mechanics

The company’s roadshow is scheduled to kick off around June 8, 2026. Pricing is set for June 11, with trading expected to begin on June 12.

At $135 per share, the offering consists of roughly 555.6 million shares. Goldman Sachs is leading the underwriting syndicate.

SpaceX’s most recent private funding round, completed in February 2026, valued the firm at $1.25 trillion. The IPO pricing represents a significant step-up from that mark, roughly a 40% to 44% premium in just a few months. Total historical funding for SpaceX is estimated at around $10 billion.

Why the frenzy

The company merged with Elon Musk’s xAI in early 2026, blending its aerospace and satellite technology operations with artificial intelligence capabilities.

The fixed pricing structure at $135 per share, rather than a traditional book-building range, is notable. Following a confidential SEC filing in April 2026, the company laid out plans for a public offering in May, unveiling this fixed-price structure that is unusual in IPOs.

What this means for investors

Retail investors are likely to find themselves on the outside looking in during the initial allocation phase. IPOs of this magnitude are overwhelmingly distributed to institutional buyers, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and large asset managers.

A successful SpaceX debut at or above the $1.8 trillion valuation mark would immediately make it one of the most valuable publicly traded companies on Earth, alongside Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

The crypto market won’t see direct exposure from this offering, as no blockchain or digital asset components appear to be involved.
