SpaceX said to file confidential IPO plans with SEC at up to $1.75T valuation

SpaceX has reportedly filed confidential IPO papers with the SEC, eyeing a June 2026 listing at over $1.75T and up to $75B raised after its $1.25T xAI merger valuation.

SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite company based in the United States, has quietly filed a draft registration for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a move that could value the group at more than $1.75 trillion and bring the world’s biggest-ever listing to market as soon as June 2026.

People familiar with the process told Bloomberg that SpaceX is “targeting a confidential filing for an initial public offering as soon as next month,” a timetable that would keep the long-awaited flotation on track for a mid-year debut. Under U.S. rules, a confidential submission allows large issuers to work through several rounds of SEC comments before publishing an S-1 prospectus, limiting early scrutiny of detailed financials.

Insiders cited say the company has already submitted its IPO registration draft and is expected to go public in June, potentially the first of three so‑called “super IPOs” ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic, with banks including Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley lined up as lead underwriters. The same report suggests SpaceX could raise up to $75 billion in fresh capital, more than double the $29.4 billion Saudi Aramco raised in its 2019 IPO, which White & Case described as “the largest-ever initial public offering” at the time. In crypto markets, SpaceX’s looming deal follows similar large-cap listings that have intersected with digital assets, including Coinbase’s direct listing, and echoes recent coverage highlighting how major corporate treasuries are increasingly willing to hold assets like bitcoin alongside cash and bonds.

The IPO preparation comes just weeks after SpaceX acquired Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI in a record-setting all‑stock transaction that Reuters says values SpaceX at $1 trillion and xAI at $250 billion, creating a combined entity worth about $1.25 trillion. In a memo quoted by Reuters, Musk framed the tie‑up in typically expansive terms, writing that the merger “signifies not just a new chapter, but an entirely new book in the journey of SpaceX and xAI: expanding to create a conscious sun that comprehends the Universe and spreads the essence of awareness to the stars!” Coverage in the Financial Times and other outlets has stressed that the deal concentrates even more of Musk’s wealth and operational leverage into SpaceX just as bankers pitch investors on its satellite internet arm Starlink as the engine of long‑term cash flow.

The SpaceX listing adds to a pipeline of equity deals that could influence liquidity conditions across both traditional and digital asset markets, particularly if the company confirms reported bitcoin holdings or clarifies whether any related tokenized equity products will trade alongside the stock. In a previous crypto.news story, markets tracked how large technology listings and bitcoin‑linked balance sheets can amplify risk‑on sentiment across digital assets, while another story examined how Musk‑adjacent ventures have repeatedly acted as catalysts for renewed retail inflows into crypto during major funding milestones. With benchmark tokens like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), traders will be watching whether a SpaceX roadshow in early summer sharpens the bid for risk or drains liquidity into what could be the IPO of the decade.
