SpaceX would be valued at $1.5 trillion when it went public

According to two of the individuals consulted, SpaceX would spend a portion of the money collected in a future IPO to create space data centers. Including the acquisition of the chips required for their functioning. Elon Musk recently indicated interest in this notion.

According to one of the individuals, Musk and the SpaceX board of directors have expedited plans for the initial public offering (IPO) in recent days. Partly because of the success of Starlink, the company’s satellite internet service, and the development of its «Starship» rocket for the Moon and Mars.

It is anticipated that SpaceX will make around $15 billion in revenue in 2025 and between $22 billion and $24 billion in 2026. With Starlink accounting for the majority of sales.

The largest long-term investors in SpaceX are venture capital firms such as Peter Thiel’s Founder’s Fund, 137 Ventures. Led by Justin Fishner-Wolfson, and Valor Equity Partners, while Fidelity and Google (Alphabet) are also prominent investors.

In addition to SpaceX, other large US startups are reportedly preparing to go public next year, as Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, has hired the law firm Wilson Sonsini to begin work on what could be one of the largest IPOs in history, which could take place in 2026, according to the Financial Times.

Anthropic received a $15 billion commitment from Microsoft and Nvidia last month, which will be part of a funding round expected to value the group at between $300 billion and $350 billion.
