Alphabet's SpaceX Bet Grows to $94b
Alphabet’s disclosed stake makes it SpaceX’s largest institutional holder, with five investors accounting for most reported shares, Reuters analysis found.
- Alphabet disclosed a stake in SpaceX worth approximately $94.2 billion as of June 30, emerging as the largest single institutional shareholder following the rocket maker's public market debut in June.
- This massive holding stems from a roughly $900 million investment Alphabet made in 2015, a bet that has compounded more than 100-fold and now comprises 95% of the company's investment portfolio.

- To bolster infrastructure, SpaceX will exclusively use Nvidia's graphics processing units in its AI data centers, with Elon Musk expecting a "significant allocation" of Vera Rubin GPUs next year.
