SpaceX aims to list on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026 under the ticker SPCX. The company is aiming to raise about $75 billion at a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, making it the largest IPO in history by a wide margin.
The current record holder, by the way, is Saudi Aramco, which raised $29.4 billion when it went public in 2019. SpaceX’s planned fundraising amount will be more than 2.5 times that amount.
The road to listing
SpaceX filed a confidential draft S-1 with the SEC on April 1, 2026. Roadshow activities are planned for early June, with a tight timeline between the pitch to investors and the target listing date.
An IPO valuation of $1.75 trillion would instantly make SpaceX one of the most valuable publicly traded companies on the planet. To put that number in perspective, it’s pretty close to companies like Meta and Berkshire Hathaway, which took decades of public market operations to reach that level.
The shadow of humanity looms behind SpaceX as it waits for IPO
SpaceX isn’t the only tech giant eyeing the public markets. Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude Model family, is also gearing up for a possible IPO as early as October 2026. The company is currently negotiating pre-IPO financing at a valuation close to $900 billion.
Together, the companies represent a wave of tech IPOs with a combined valuation that could reach well over $4 trillion.
For Anthropic, a valuation of nearly $900 billion would be remarkable for a company founded in 2021.
What this means for investors
Prediction markets are already active on the timing issue, with participants betting on whether SpaceX will actually debut by June 30, 2026. Some speculators are predicting that the first-day closing market cap could exceed $1.8 trillion, suggesting that the first-day pop expectations are meaningful.
