SpaceX Confidentally Files for IPO, Setting Up What Could Be a Record Listing

Apr 1, 2026

SpaceX has confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering, according to reports, putting Elon Musk’s rocket company on a path toward going public. The filing was described by sources as a key step that could lead to one of the biggest IPOs ever.
The company is said to be aiming to raise between $40 billion and $80 billion. One report said a listing could come as soon as June, while another said the filing could allow the company to share draft documents with regulators privately before making them public later.
SpaceX was recently valued at $1.25 trillion after merging with Musk’s AI company xAI, and the move has also lifted some aerospace shares as investors bet the IPO could benefit the wider sector.
