Elon Musk’s SpaceX is exploring a potential public market debut that could reshape global IPO records. The company is reportedly considering an initial public offering as early as mid-June, following renewed talks with investors and a sharp increase in its valuation.
According to a media report, SpaceX is aiming to raise up to $50 billion at an estimated valuation of around $1.5 trillion. If the plan moves forward, it would become the largest IPO ever, surpassing Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion listing in 2019. The renewed momentum is being driven by SpaceX’s growing market value and the strong performance of its Starlink satellite internet business.
Reports indicate that SpaceX Chief Financial Officer Bret Johnsen has been in discussions with existing private investors since December about the possibility of an IPO, potentially targeting a mid-2026 timeline. While Elon Musk has long preferred to keep SpaceX private, the company’s expanding scale and Starlink’s commercial success appear to be influencing this strategic shift.
In preparation for a potential listing, SpaceX is said to be working with 4 major Wall Street banks in leading roles. These early preparations come as global financial markets anticipate a wave of large US listings over the next year, with SpaceX expected to be among the most closely watched.
The broader IPO pipeline is also taking shape, with artificial intelligence firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI reportedly laying early groundwork for future market debuts. Together, these developments signal what could be a defining period for technology-driven public offerings.
For SpaceX, a public listing would mark a major turning point, opening the company to public investors while potentially setting a new benchmark for IPO valuations worldwide.
