SpaceX is preparing for the biggest listing in IPO history in 2026 - Bloomberg

Elon Musk's space company SpaceX expects to raise "well over $30 billion" in an IPO, sources told Bloomberg. The deal could be the largest listing in history. So far, the record belongs to Saudi Aramco: the oil giant raised $29 billion through an initial public offering in 2019.

Musk's company is thus targeting a valuation of about $1.5 trillion, the agency writes. Its interlocutors said that it plans to spend part of the funds raised to create orbital data centers for Starlink. It is Starlink's rapid growth, Bloomberg estimates, that partly explains why SpaceX has accelerated plans to go public.

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX executives and advisers are working toward an offering as early as mid- to late 2026. However, the timing could change depending on market conditions and other factors and move to 2027, one of the sources said.

A SpaceX spokesperson could not immediately respond to the agency's request for comment.
