SpaceX Plans IPO by 2026, Valuation Could Reach $1.5 Trillion

Elon Musk's SpaceX is advancing plans for an initial public offering in 2026, which could raise over $30 billion and potentially value the company at $1.5 trillion. This IPO, if successful, would be the largest in American history and could significantly elevate Musk's net worth, potentially making him the world's first trillionaire.

Currently, Musk's stake in SpaceX is estimated to be worth $625 billion, greatly increasing from its current valuation of approximately $136 billion, according to The New York Sun. Musk's plans have been confirmed via a post on X, signaling readiness for a public offering amidst the growing demand for private space ventures in the economy.

Crunchbase News notes that this IPO would surpass previous records, dwarfing Facebook's IPO, which was valued at $104 billion in 2012. SpaceX's push for public status aligns with its need for substantial capital to support upcoming projects, including AI integration and space-based data centers, as highlighted by Teslarati.
