SpaceX will allocate an unprecedented portion of shares to retail investors, the company announced. The planned IPO aims to secure $75 billion, valuing SpaceX at $1.75 trillion.
SpaceX has unveiled the main parameters of its Initial Public Offering (IPO). According to Reuters, citing well-informed sources, the company’s leadership has revealed intentions to dedicate a record share allocation to retail investors and invite 1,500 of them to an event in June, scheduled to follow the IPO roadshow.
In addition to the United States, retail investors from the United Kingdom, EU nations, Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea will have the opportunity to participate in the offering. In total, SpaceX intends to raise $75 billion. Earlier reports mentioned plans to raise $50 billion, but the figure was subsequently raised, according to the publication. SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen stated, “Retail investors will play a crucial role in this offering, and their share will be larger than in any IPO in history.”
WSJ learned about a series of layoffs at Musk’s company ahead of the potential SpaceX IPO.
The target valuation of $1.75 trillion considerably surpasses SpaceX’s prior benchmarks. In December 2025, the company was valued at $800 billion, and in February 2026, following a merger with Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, it was valued at $1.25 trillion.
Discussions about SpaceX potentially going public have been ongoing for several years. In December 2025, Elon Musk confirmed information regarding the company’s plans to conduct an IPO in 2026 as “accurate.” Sources at that time estimated the preliminary company worth at $800 billion.
Later, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that SpaceX was planning to raise $30 billion. The company was aiming for an IPO valuation of approximately $1.5 trillion, the agency emphasized. Musk, for his part, stressed that SpaceX intends to go public during a “parade of planets.”
