According to individuals well - versed in the matter, SpaceX is pressing ahead with its initial public offering (IPO) plans. The company aims to raise a substantial amount, significantly exceeding $30 billion, with a target valuation hovering around $1.5 trillion. If successful, this could potentially make it the largest IPO ever witnessed.

SpaceX's management team and its advisors are working diligently to bring the IPO to fruition as early as the mid - to - late 2026. However, due to various factors such as market conditions, the specific timing might be pushed back until 2027.

A portion of the funds generated from this IPO will be earmarked for the development of space - based data centers. This includes procuring the chips necessary for their operation.

SpaceX's Starlink business is currently enjoying robust growth. It is projected to generate revenue of approximately $15.5 billion in 2025, and this figure is expected to surge to between $22 billion and $24 billion in 2026. The lion's share of these sales will come from the Starlink segment.
