Elon Musk’s SpaceX is looking to raise more than $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026, a move that could boost the rocket-maker’s valuation to over $1 trillion, a person familiar with the matter has told Reuters.<\/p>\n

The company’s move towards a public listing, which could rank among the largest global IPOs, has been largely driven by the rapid expansion of its Starlink satellite internet business, including plans for direct-to-mobile service and progress in its Starship rocket program for moon and Mars missions.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has started discussions with banks about launching the offering around June or July, the person said, requesting anonymity to discuss confidential information.<\/p>\n

Talks over a listing plan are unfolding against the backdrop of a resurgence in the IPO market in 2025 after a three-year dry spell.<\/p>\n

Wall Street’s top executives expect the momentum to carry into 2026, turbocharged by a pipeline of high-profile companies preparing to test investor demand.<\/p>\n

“SpaceX represents one of the most exciting opportunities in the global IPO market and has been on the dream-list of several investors for years,” Samuel Kerr, head of equity capital markets at Mergermarket told Reuters.<\/p>\n

“It is a genuine growth industry, with space technology seen as a key frontier in both defense, satellite proliferation and in tech infrastructure in general the growth of orbital data centres,” he added.<\/p>\n

Several big startups have stayed private for longer and continued to raise capital in private markets, and a listing from a company like SpaceX could prompt more of them to move toward public offerings.<\/p>\n

SpaceX ranks as the world’s second most-valuable private startup after ChatGPT maker OpenAI, according to data from Crunchbase. OpenAI and rival Anthropic are also reportedly in talks for an IPO next year.<\/p>\n

“If all these deals come through the US IPO market will experience a genuine revival, the green shoots of which have already been seen this year,” Kerr said.<\/p>\n

The news of the potential IPO comes days after a media report that said SpaceX is kicking off a secondary share sale that would value the rocket-maker at $800 billion. However, Musk dismissed the report, calling it inaccurate.<\/p>\n

Saudi Aramco is the only completed IPO to achieve a more than $1 trillion valuation. The state-owned petroleum and natural gas giant debuted in December 2019 with an estimated market capitalisation of $1.7 trillion.<\/p>\n

SpaceX expects to use funds from the public listing to develop space-based data centres, including purchasing the chips required to run them, according to Bloomberg News, which was first to report the potential terms of the offering.<\/p>\n

Space race<\/p>\n

Several billionaires and private firms are fueling a new space race in the US, pouring money into rockets, satellites and lunar missions, including SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin.<\/p>\n

With NASA relying more on commercial partnerships and defence spending rising, the space industry is becoming a high-stakes arena for technological dominance, national security and economic opportunity.<\/p>\n

Still, questions about Musk’s ability to run multiple listed companies valued at more than $1 trillion could keep investors cautious, analysts said.<\/p>\n

“SpaceX could be one of the most divisive stocks to join the market in years,” Dan Coatsworth, head of markets at AJ Bell told Reuters.<\/p>\n

“If SpaceX did float, expect growing pressure on Musk to commit to only one of his listed entities – Tesla or SpaceX. It’s hard to see how one individual could run two $1 trillion+ companies at the same time.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
