US EditionSpaceX insider share sale sets $800 billion valuation amid possible IPO, letter shows
SpaceX aims to raise over $2.5 billion through insider share buybacks at $421 per share while preparing for a 2026 initial public offering to fund Starship and AI projects.
- On Friday, SpaceX told employees that it planned an insider share buyback of $630 million at $421 per share and is preparing for a potential IPO next year.
- Facing capital needs for Starship and Moonbase Alpha, Elon Musk and SpaceX argue the capital would fund Starship, space-based AI data centers, Moonbase Alpha and Mars missions.
- Data from Bloomberg and PitchBook show the IPO could raise more than $30 billion, far exceeding historical private raises of $10 billion, and would make SpaceX the most valuable private company, surpassing OpenAI's $500 billion.
- For shareholders and partners, the move means public markets would demand more revenue transparency and profit pressure while existing SpaceX shareholders gain liquidity amid contracts with NASA and the Pentagon.
- Amid a booming space sector valued at $630 billion in 2023, experts warned public markets could constrain SpaceX's risk-taking, with Mason Peck saying `I speculate that would ground SpaceX somewhat in the near term`.
