Elon Musk's SpaceX space company has just set a fixed share price of $135 ahead of its official initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.
According to filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 3, SpaceX said it plans to sell 555.6 million shares, raising up to $75 billion. Underwriters have the right to purchase an additional 83.33 million shares at the IPO price, for a total value of approximately $11.2 billion.
At a price of $135 per share, according to CNBC, SpaceX is valued at approximately $1.77 trillion. This valuation would make SpaceX the seventh largest company in the US by market capitalization. Leading the list is technology company Nvidia, with a value of $5.2 trillion.
Billionaire Elon Musk's company is expected to officially list on the Nasdaq on June 12th. This will be the largest IPO ever, more than three times the record set in 2014 when Alibaba raised $21.8 billion.
In February 2026, billionaire Elon Musk merged his artificial intelligence company xAI with SpaceX. At that time, the new company was valued at $1.25 trillion. Musk's companies also have many overlapping financial ties. For example, electric car manufacturer Tesla currently holds 18.99 million SpaceX shares, worth approximately $2.56 billion at the IPO price. As SpaceX moved closer to going public, there was increasing speculation that Elon Musk's ultimate goal was to merge the company with Tesla. According to CNBC, Musk had discussed the possibility of merging Tesla and SpaceX with his associates. The two companies also spent time coordinating resources and sharing personnel.

This information was released amidst a race between artificial intelligence (AI) companies Anthropic and OpenAI to go public. Anthropic has already taken the lead, filing its IPO prospectus with the SEC on June 1st. Anthropic's statement indicated that this move allows them the option to go public after the SEC completes its review process. The proposed IPO plan will depend on market conditions and other factors.
Anthropic recently completed a funding round with a valuation of $965 billion, surpassing OpenAI, which was valued at $852 billion at the end of March. OpenAI is also preparing to file its IPO prospectus in the coming weeks and is planning to conduct an IPO as early as the fourth quarter of this year.
Meanwhile, news that Alphabet (US) plans to sell $80 billion worth of shares to fund AI projects is causing unprecedented market reaction. Anthony Gutman, co-CEO of Goldman Sachs International, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, made this statement to CNBC on June 3rd, adding that this is a record-breaking offering in every respect.
In a statement on June 1st, Alphabet, Google's parent company, said the stock offering aims to "fund investments in world- class AI computing infrastructure to meet the unprecedented growth in customer demand." Google is significantly increasing its spending on AI to avoid falling behind its major competitors. The company recently projected capital spending of $180-$190 billion this year.
