The largest IPO in history - new details and important dates!
Elon Musk is breaking the rules again - and this time it's about the public offering (IPO) of SpaceX, which plans to be the biggest financial event ever seen in the markets...
The company aims to raise a massive $75 billion - which would make it the largest IPO in modern history.
To understand the magnitude of the event, one must look at the meteoric rise in the company's valuation:
Just in December 2025, it was valued at $800 billion - but after the merger with xAI (Musk's AI startup) in February 2026 - the valuation already jumped to $1.25 trillion!
Nevertheless, the final and updated goal for the IPO is to reach a market cap of up to $1.75 trillion!
The timeline is already becoming particularly busy and exciting - the official investment document (S-1) is scheduled for publication by the end of May.
Immediately thereafter, in the week of June 8, the official round of investor presentations is expected to begin.
On June 10, a special visit by 125 senior analysts from leading financial firms will take place - and the next day, June 11, a massive event for 1,500 retail investors will be held.
And this is precisely the time to emphasize a very important point in this historic IPO! -
The private investor,
Meaning you!
Are center stage this time!
While in regular IPOs the general public (retail investors) receives a small allocation of only 5% to 10%, SpaceX CFO Bret Johnson states that SpaceX's goal is to grant them up to 30% of the offering.
This is an unusual move designed to allow private investors to hold a more significant share than ever before.
The IPO will be open to investors from many countries - including the US, UK, EU member states, Australia, Canada, Japan, and South Korea.
In addition, investors from South Korea have an interesting opportunity for direct investment - as it is expected that they will be able to participate through the international offering channels of their local investment houses - therefore, it is advisable to closely follow the exact registration method that will be published with the prospectus at the end of May.
Five top-tier investment banks are managing the financial side of this operation -
This includes Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citi, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs -
In total, 21 different banks are participating in the venture - divided among institutional, international, and retail channels - to ensure the success of this ambitious move.
We'll conclude as we like - with a question:
Why does Elon Musk need $75 billion?
