SpaceX is gearing up for a public offering after private rounds valued it at about $137 billion. The IPO would open ownership to public investors and mark a major shift from its long-held private status.
- 137 Ventures has lined up ~$100M to buy SpaceX employee shares at $100-110/share, valuing the company at $130-140B—nearly double its $74B valuation from two years ago.
- Starlink drove $3.2B of SpaceX's projected $11.5B revenue this year, and Musk says it could be cash-flow positive by late 2026, a milestone investors see as key to an IPO.
- Musk has told advisers he wants to go public before 2028, but Starship production issues and European regulatory slowdowns are making some potential buyers cautious.
- NASA's $4.1B lunar lander commitment and the Space Force's $2.8B rocket deal give SpaceX financial cushion to delay an IPO until market conditions improve.
