What is known

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX is preparing for an initial public offering, which could be the largest in history. The target valuation of the entire company is about $1.5 trillion. If successfully implemented, it will surpass Saudi Aramco's 2019 record and become the largest IPO of all time.

In an internal communication for shareholders, the company's CFO Bret Johnsen noted that the funds raised are planned to be directed towards increasing the frequency of Starship rocket launches, creating AI data centers in space, and developing a lunar base. SpaceX describes this as a "crazy flight frequency" that requires significant funding.

Despite active preparations, the final decision on the IPO has not yet been made. Its date and final parameters may change. Meanwhile, the company has already set a new market value and allowed employees to sell or buy additional shares as part of the latest tender offer.

SpaceX performs launches of the Falcon 9 rocket to send satellites and crews into orbit and also provides internet services through the Starlink satellite system.
