Reports indicate that SpaceX is actively preparing for an IPO plan between mid and late 2026, with Elon Musk confirming the timeline as “accurate.” This news immediately raises expectations for one of the most influential IPOs of the decade.
According to sources, SpaceX aims for a valuation of up to $1.5 trillion and could raise more than $30 billion in new capital, surpassing the scale of Saudi Aramco’s 2019 IPO. The motivation for this ambition comes from the secondary share sale at the end of 2025, which will bring the internal valuation close to $800 billion.
The IPO proceeds are expected to be used for orbital data centers serving AI, as well as to boost Starlink – a segment forecasted to generate $22–24 billion in revenue in 2026. Along with the progress of Starship, SpaceX is expected to reshape how the market values space technology and AI.
