The debut matters because it gives public-market investors their first direct access to one of the most closely watched private companies in the world. SpaceX has become a major force in commercial space through reusable rockets and has built a large satellite internet business through Starlink.
According to CoinDesk, SpaceX sold 555.6 million shares and raised $75 billion, making it the largest IPO on record. At the IPO price, the company was valued at roughly $1.8 trillion.
The listing also has a crypto angle. SpaceX disclosed that it held 18,712 bitcoin as of March 31, a position worth just under $1.2 billion at bitcoin’s recent price of around $63,500, according to the source.
Broader crypto markets were calmer during the debut. Bitcoin was roughly flat near $63,400, while AI-related crypto stocks posted modest gains.
