US EditionSpaceX Eyes IPO Timed to Planet Alignment and Musk Birthday: Report
- On a mid‑June window, SpaceX is reportedly weighing an IPO that could value it at roughly $1.5 trillion and seek about $50 billion, aligning with Musk's June 28 birthday and a Jupiter‑Venus meetup.
- SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen has been meeting with private investors since the end of last year, driven by AI industry trends like space data centers, expediting a possible mid‑2026 listing.
- Elon Musk holds about 42% of SpaceX, which earns revenue through reusable rocket launches, NASA resupply missions and its Starlink satellite internet service, while major banks considered include Bank of America, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
- A public listing would open access to the tightly held space sector amid a broader reopening of US equity markets, further expanding Elon Musk's estimated $775 billion fortune.
- Historically, SpaceX said it would not IPO until its rockets were regularly flying to Mars, so a mid‑2026 float would represent a notable shift testing a new financial frontier for space companies.
