SpaceX is reportedly preparing to go public in mid-to-late 2026, with a potential fundraising target of more than $30 billion and an internal valuation goal hovering around $1.5 trillion. The information comes from multiple reports, including Bloomberg and The Information, which cite unnamed sources familiar with the company’s planning. SpaceX has not confirmed these details publicly.
If accurate, the listing would surpass Saudi Aramco’s 2019 debut, which raised roughly $29 billion, making SpaceX’s offering the largest IPO to date. The move would also represent a shift from earlier discussions in which SpaceX considered taking only its Starlink division public while keeping the broader company private.
Recent reporting suggests that SpaceX now intends to bring the entire company — including Starlink — to the public markets. However, the details remain fluid and largely speculative, relying on insider accounts rather than official announcements.
Conflicting Signals Around Valuation and Share Sales
The Wall Street Journal and other outlets recently reported that SpaceX is conducting a secondary share sale that places its valuation around $800 billion. But Elon Musk has publicly denied that the company is raising capital at that valuation, adding uncertainty to the figures circulating in the press.
Bloomberg’s latest reporting notes that the secondary sale has “firmed up” in recent days, with employee shares allegedly being sold at around $420 per share and roughly $2 billion worth of stock available. As with the IPO details, these numbers are based on anonymous sourcing and have not been confirmed by SpaceX.
Taken together, the reports paint a picture of a company preparing for a historic public listing — but one whose final numbers, timing, and structure remain subject to change.
