SpaceX Confidentially Files for IPO Targeting Up to a $1.75 Trillion Valuation

Starlink’s recurring revenue, alongside the xAI merger, underpins the pitch to public investors.

Overview

  • SpaceX has submitted a confidential draft registration to the SEC that points to a potential June Nasdaq listing and a raise of up to $75 billion, according to multiple reports.
  • The company has lined up a 21‑bank syndicate, with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup in senior bookrunner roles.
  • Executives plan investor briefings described as testing‑the‑waters meetings this month to gauge demand and help set terms for the deal.
  • SpaceX is exploring a dual‑class share structure to preserve insider voting control and is weighing an unusually large retail allocation of up to about 30% of shares.
  • The valuation case centers on Starlink’s roughly 9.2 million subscribers and about $16 billion in 2025 revenue, plus February’s fold‑in of xAI assets, while analysts flag regulatory, launch, spectrum, and governance risks.
