SpaceX Files S‑1 for Nasdaq IPO Targeting About $1.75 Trillion Valuation

The public filing gives investors the first full look at Starlink revenue, heavy AI and Starship spending, a multibillion compute deal with Anthropic, and Elon Musk’s retained voting control in the company.

Overview

  • SpaceX publicly filed its S‑1 on Wednesday, naming Goldman Sachs as lead left with Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan as bookrunners and indicating a Nasdaq listing under the ticker SPCX.
  • The filing shows 2025 revenue of roughly $18.7 billion driven mainly by Starlink while also reporting multibillion quarterly losses and large capital expenditures for Starship and AI infrastructure.
  • SpaceX disclosed a commercial agreement to rent GPU capacity to Anthropic for about $1.25 billion per month through May 2029, signaling its role as both an AI competitor and infrastructure supplier.
  • Governance terms in the prospectus create a dual‑class share structure that leaves Elon Musk with roughly 85% of voting power, a design the company warns may limit outside shareholders’ influence.
  • SpaceX plans an accelerated roadshow and a June listing window that could produce a roughly $75–80 billion sale, a small public float and a distribution plan that analysts say could magnify early trading volatility and influence other AI IPOs.
