What is SpaceX?
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) designs and flies reusable rockets and spacecraft and runs Starlink, its satellite-internet network. Its Falcon 9 is the most-flown orbital rocket in the world, and Starlink delivers broadband to millions of customers across more than 100 countries.
Founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, SpaceX stayed private for 24 years before its June 12, 2026 Nasdaq listing under ticker SPCX — the largest IPO in history. Just before listing it absorbed Musk's AI company xAI in an all-stock deal, so the public company now spans rockets, satellite internet and artificial intelligence.
What has moved SpaceX
June 12, 2026 — the largest IPO in history
SpaceX sold about 555.6 million shares at $135 to raise roughly $75 billion — the biggest IPO ever — valuing it near $1.77 trillion. The stock opened at $150 and closed its first day at $160.95, up about 19%, lifting the implied value above $2 trillion.
February 2026 — the $1.25 trillion xAI merger
Ahead of the IPO, SpaceX absorbed Elon Musk's AI company xAI in an all-stock deal that valued SpaceX at $1 trillion and xAI at $250 billion — a combined $1.25 trillion, the largest merger ever — with the stated aim of building data centers in orbit.
Starlink: from 4 million to 12 million subscribers
Starlink grew from about 4 million subscribers in September 2024 to roughly 10 million by February 2026 and more than 12 million by June 2026. It is now SpaceX's largest revenue source and the main engine behind its profitability and valuation.
A record 165 launches in 2025
SpaceX flew 165 orbital missions in 2025 — about 51% of all launches worldwide — up from 134 in 2024. Roughly 122 carried Starlink satellites, showing how the satellite business now drives the company's launch cadence.
Private value climbed from $137B to $1.77T
SpaceX was valued near $137 billion in a January 2023 funding round; secondary share sales repriced it far higher through 2025 before the June 2026 IPO set a public valuation around $1.77 trillion — one of the fastest climbs to trillion-dollar scale on record.
Notable moments
September 28, 2008 — Falcon 1 reaches orbit
After three failures that nearly bankrupted the company, Falcon 1 became the first privately funded liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit on September 28, 2008, launched from a Pacific atoll. The success won NASA's confidence and the contracts that saved SpaceX.
May 30, 2020 — first crewed Dragon flight
SpaceX flew NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station aboard Crew Dragon on May 30, 2020 — the first crewed orbital launch from US soil since the Space Shuttle retired in 2011.
Starship — the biggest rocket ever built
Starship, the tallest and most powerful rocket ever flown, has progressed through a series of increasingly successful test flights. NASA selected it as the human landing system for its Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon.
