SpaceX Files Confidential IPO Plans Targeting $1.75 Trillion Valuation
SpaceX has quietly submitted a confidential filing that could pave the way for one of the most ambitious public offerings in history. Codenamed Project Apex, the filing hints at a potential valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion and a capital raise of about $75 billion. The move marks a dramatic shift for Elon Musk’s flagship aerospace company, which has traditionally relied on private funding.
The filing, reviewed by TechCrunch, indicates a 21‑bank syndicate will underwrite the offering, including major players such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of America. While the document is a pre‑registration step and does not guarantee an IPO, it signals serious intent to tap public markets.
According to the filing, the proceeds would be allocated to three core initiatives:
- Starship certification: Accelerating the path to full‑scale orbital flights and lunar missions.
- Starlink satellite refresh: Funding the next generation of broadband satellites to expand global coverage.
- xAI compute infrastructure: Supporting the rapid development of Musk’s artificial‑intelligence venture.
This strategy reflects a broader vision of integrating space transportation, satellite services, and AI computing under a single, publicly‑traded umbrella. It also opens the door for investors to participate in the burgeoning space economy, which many analysts predict will exceed $1 trillion in annual revenue within the next decade.
