Insider trading pushes SpaceX's valuation to $800 billion.

The New York Times and Bloomberg News reported on December 12th that Elon Musk's space exploration technology company SpaceX has authorized an internal stock sale, setting a new valuation for the company at approximately $800 billion. This is seen as the strongest move yet, indicating that the rocket manufacturer is actively preparing for a large-scale initial public offering (IPO).

According to reports, SpaceX is conducting an internal stock transaction at a price of $421 per share. Additionally, SpaceX's Chief Financial Officer, Bret Johnsen, announced in a letter to employees that the company plans to repurchase $2.56 billion worth of shares from shareholders.

Mr. Johnsen also mentioned the possibility of SpaceX listing its shares through an IPO in 2026. He believes that, if everything goes smoothly and the market is cooperative, a public offering could help the company raise a significant amount of capital.

SpaceX's move toward an initial public offering (IPO) is predicted to be one of the largest in the world. Analysts believe this is largely due to the rapid expansion of its Starlink satellite internet business and the progress of its Starship rocket program, which is central to missions to the Moon and Mars.

SpaceX has not yet officially responded to this information.

Previously, there were reports that SpaceX was seeking to raise more than $25 billion through an IPO, a move expected to push the company's valuation past the $1 trillion mark.

According to data from Crunchbase, SpaceX is currently ranked as the second most valuable private startup in the world , behind only OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.
