On December 10, foreign media reported that SpaceX is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. The scale of fundraising is projected to potentially exceed $30 billion, with a target valuation of around $1.5 trillion. If realized, this could make it the largest IPO in history. Earlier reports had suggested a fundraising amount that might surpass $250 billion. However, after synthesizing information from various sources, the more widely - held expectation now is that the fundraising will exceed $30 billion.

With a valuation of $1.5 trillion, SpaceX would join the ranks of the world's most highly - valued companies, standing on equal footing with tech behemoths like Apple and Microsoft in terms of market capitalization. The company's management is making thorough preparations, with the goal of completing the listing in the mid - to - late 2026. Nevertheless, the specific timing could be adjusted according to market conditions and might even be pushed back to 2027.

The funds raised from the IPO will be channeled into projects such as the development of space data centers. This includes the procurement of chips necessary for their operation.
