SpaceX has announced intentions to allocate an unprecedented portion of its shares to retail investors. The company’s planned Initial Public Offering (IPO) aims to raise $75 billion, valuing SpaceX at $1.75 trillion.
SpaceX has disclosed the primary details of its upcoming IPO. According to Reuters, citing informed sources, the company’s leadership has revealed plans to set aside a record-breaking share allocation for retail investors. Furthermore, 1,500 such investors will be invited to an event in June, following the IPO’s roadshow.
Beyond the United States, retail investors from the United Kingdom, European Union member states, Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea will also have the opportunity to participate in the offering. In total, SpaceX intends to raise $75 billion. Earlier reports indicated plans to raise $50 billion, but this figure has since been increased, according to the publication. SpaceX’s Chief Financial Officer, Bret Johnsen, stated, “Retail investors will play a pivotal role in this offering, and their allocation will be larger than in any other IPO in history.”
The target valuation of $1.75 trillion significantly surpasses SpaceX’s previous benchmarks. In December 2025, the company was valued at $800 billion, and in February 2026, following its merger with Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, it was valued at $1.25 trillion.
Discussions regarding SpaceX’s potential stock market debut have been ongoing for several years. In December 2025, Elon Musk confirmed reports of the company’s plans to conduct an IPO in 2026 as “accurate.” At that time, sources estimated the company’s preliminary valuation at $800 billion.
Subsequently, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that SpaceX was planning to raise $30 billion. The agency highlighted that the company aimed for an IPO valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion. Musk, meanwhile, emphasized that SpaceX intends to go public during a “parade of planets.”
