SpaceX is said to be aiming for an IPO in 2026, targeting a valuation of $1.5 trillion

SpaceX Eyes Historic IPO in 2026

According to a recent Bloomberg News report that references several unnamed insiders, SpaceX is preparing for a public offering between mid and late 2026. The company is reportedly seeking to raise $30 billion, aiming for a staggering valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion.

If successful, this would mark the largest initial public offering ever, surpassing the $29 billion raised by Saudi Aramco in 2019. This move would also represent a shift in strategy for SpaceX, which had previously explored the idea of taking its Starlink division public while keeping the parent company private.

Bloomberg’s update follows closely on the heels of a report from The Information, which was the first to reveal SpaceX’s intention to pursue an IPO in late 2026.

Additionally, The Wall Street Journal recently disclosed that SpaceX was conducting another secondary share sale for its employees, valuing the company at about $800 billion. Bloomberg now reports that this share sale has been finalized at a valuation above $800 billion, with employees permitted to sell roughly $2 billion in shares at a price of $420 each.

Note: The headline has been updated to reflect the correct figure of $1.5 trillion, not $1.5 billion.
