SpaceX Files Confidential IPO Registration with SEC
96 FOMOSpaceX confidentially submitted draft IPO registration documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2026, targeting a June 2026 listing. The filing was confirmed by Bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters, and the Wall Street Journal. The company is seeking a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion and aims to raise as much as $75 billion — which would surpass Saudi Aramco's $29 billion 2019 debut as the largest IPO in history. Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley are lined up as senior underwriters. The valuation is anchored primarily by Starlink, which ended 2025 with 9.2 million subscribers and over $10 billion in revenue, now crossing 10 million subscribers as of February 2026. A prior all-stock merger with xAI pushed the combined entity valuation to approximately $1.25 trillion before the IPO premium.
Why it matters
