SpaceX Targets $800 Billion Valuation in Secondary Share Sale
SpaceX is pursuing a secondary share sale that WOULD value the company at $800 billion, potentially making it the most valuable private firm in the U.S. The proposed valuation doubles the $400 billion mark from its recent secondary offering, signaling aggressive growth ambitions.
CFO Bret Johnsen has informed investors of a potential IPO in late 2026, which may include both SpaceX and its Starlink satellite internet unit. With 9,000 Starlink satellites already in orbit serving over eight million customers, the company recently committed $20 billion to acquire spectrum blocks from EchoStar for its direct-to-cellphone service.
The space exploration company's valuation would eclipse OpenAI's $500 billion October 2025 benchmark, cementing SpaceX's dominance in the private sector. Market observers note the timing coincides with accelerating private capital flows into aerospace and satellite infrastructure ventures.
