SpaceX has raised $75 billion from a range of financial institutions ahead of its upcoming public trading debut, marking what is being described as the largest stock market listing in history.
According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the aerospace and artificial intelligence company sold shares at $135 each, in line with its recent valuation expectations. This places the company’s implied market value at around $1.8 trillion.
The scale of the listing has sparked intense global attention, particularly because it positions SpaceX among the most valuable companies ever to enter public markets. If trading begins at or above the $135 level, the company is expected to immediately rank among the world’s most valuable publicly listed firms.
Analysts say investor demand is likely to be strong, with major financial institutions already participating in the pre-listing capital raise. Some projections, including from global brokerage firms, suggest the share price could climb even higher once trading begins, depending on market demand and supply dynamics.
The listing is also being closely watched as a benchmark for other major artificial intelligence and technology firms, including privately valued giants such as Anthropic and OpenAI, which are also reportedly considering future public offerings.
Investor Attention and Market Expectations
Former SpaceX engineer Tom Mueller, one of the company’s earliest employees, described the company’s journey as “incredible,” recalling its early struggles, including rocket failures before its first successful orbital launch in 2008.
Market observers say the IPO could reshape expectations for large-scale private tech firms transitioning into public markets, particularly in the aerospace and AI sectors.
However, analysts caution that valuation expectations remain highly sensitive to market sentiment, and the final trading price will depend heavily on investor demand once shares begin free-market trading.
Strong Control Remains with Elon Musk
Despite going public, Elon Musk is expected to retain significant control over SpaceX through a dual-class share structure. Reports suggest he will maintain roughly 40% equity ownership but command more than 80% of voting power.
This governance structure ensures Musk will continue to have decisive influence over major corporate decisions, including board composition and strategic direction.
While similar structures exist in other major tech firms, analysts note that SpaceX’s level of founder control is unusually strong. Some governance experts have raised concerns that such concentration of power could increase risks for minority shareholders.
The listing therefore represents not only a financial milestone but also a major governance case study for how large technology companies balance founder control with public shareholder accountability.
