SpaceX targets $1.75tn valuation, plans ~£60bn ($75bn) IPO with up to 30% retail allocation

SpaceX is preparing an IPO that targets a roughly £1.4tn ($1.75tn) valuation and plans to raise about £60bn (~$75bn), with retail investors potentially allocated up to 30%—a proposal that would rank the company among the world’s largest public firms and far exceed prior private-market levels.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Aiming to raise ~£60bn ($75bn) at a $1.75tn valuation would make this one of the largest IPOs ever, forcing index providers to consider rule changes and likely reshaping passive-investor flows into the space sector (source:655427df; source:dc1dc785).
SpaceX’s public-market push is explicitly tied to funding ambitious downstream plans — including on-orbit data centres and the combined SpaceX–xAI strategy — giving a clear capital rationale for the listing (source:41a7886e; source:5cc92a85).
The company already plays a critical operational role for government customers (recent Space Force launch orders total $739m), so the listing has direct implications for government contracting, launch capacity and industrial competition (source:5402621b).
