How to buy SpaceX stock
Because SPCX now trades on the Nasdaq, buying SpaceX stock works the same way as buying shares in any publicly listed company:
- Open a brokerage account at any major retail broker (Fidelity, Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, and others).
- Search for the spacex stock symbol SPCX on the Nasdaq exchange.
- Place your order: a market order fills at the prevailing price; a limit order lets you set a maximum price you are willing to pay.
- Consider fractional shares if your broker offers them, so you can invest any dollar amount rather than buying whole shares at roughly $143 each.
Options on SPCX and ETFs with SpaceX exposure are also available through most full-service brokers. Investors who held SpaceX shares through secondary marketplaces (Forge Global, EquityZen, or Hiive) before the IPO received their positions automatically converted to SPCX at listing.
