SpaceX has been valued at nearly USD 1.8 trillion ahead of its stock market debut. The company raised USD 75 billion from investors by selling shares at USD 135 each, the price it announced last week. The space technology and artificial intelligence company revealed the details in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

If SpaceX starts trading at or above this valuation, it will become one of the world’s most valuable publicly listed companies.

How Much Money Did SpaceX Raise?

SpaceX raised USD 75 billion by selling shares to investors before its public listing. This is one of the largest fundraising rounds ever completed before an initial public offering (IPO). It shows strong demand from investors who want a stake in one of the world’s most closely watched private technology firms.

The company’s shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange on Friday.

Why Is The SpaceX IPO Important?

The SpaceX IPO is expected to be the largest stock market debut ever in terms of company valuation. With a value of almost USD 1.8 trillion, SpaceX would immediately join the ranks of the world’s biggest companies. The listing would surpass previous record-breaking technology IPOs.

The IPO could significantly increase the wealth of SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk. Already recognised as the world’s richest person, Musk could become the first individual with a personal fortune worth more than USD 1 trillion if SpaceX shares perform strongly after they start trading.

How Much Control Will Elon Musk Keep?

Even after becoming a public company, SpaceX will remain largely under Musk’s control. He is expected to own around 40% of the company’s shares, while controlling more than 84% of the voting rights through a dual-class share structure.

This arrangement gives Musk much greater influence over company decisions than many other technology founders retain after taking their businesses public.
