#重磅 The largest IPO in history is about to arrive

SpaceX officially announced: It is preparing for a potential IPO in 2026, with the latest internal share price set at $421 per share, corresponding to a valuation of $800 billion. The plan is to raise over $30 billion, which may break the record set by Saudi Aramco and become the largest IPO in history. If the listing goes smoothly and the valuation further climbs to Musk's target of $15 trillion, his approximately 42% stake could make him the world's first trillionaire.

The company's valuation has doubled in less than half a year from about $400 billion, surpassing OpenAI again and reclaiming the title of the world's 'unicorn'. This financing will focus on three main directions: supporting the 'crazy launch frequency' of Starship, building a 'space artificial intelligence data center', and advancing the lunar base and Mars settlement plans.

SpaceX is currently the world's busiest launch service provider, with Starlink having deployed over 9,000 satellites, offering high-speed satellite internet. Musk revealed that the company's revenue is expected to be around $15.5 billion this year, and it has achieved positive free cash flow for several consecutive years. The IPO is seen as a key step towards realizing his vision of a Martian city—he estimates that transporting about 1 million tons of supplies to Mars could require $1 trillion in launch costs.
