SpaceX is public. Space Exploration Technologies began trading on the Nasdaq today, June 12, 2026, under the ticker SPCX, in the largest initial public offering in history.
The company priced its IPO at $135 a share and sold about 555.6 million Class A shares, raising roughly $75 billion. If the underwriters exercise their full 30-day option for up to 83.3 million additional shares, the total rises to about $86.25 billion. At the offer price, SpaceX is valued near $1.77 trillion.

Why it matters
SpaceX is the first launch and satellite company of its scale to reach the public market, and the raise hands it fresh capital for Starship, the Starlink build-out, and its growing AI and data-center ambitions. For public investors, today is the first time SPCX can be bought directly through an ordinary brokerage account rather than through private secondaries or pre-IPO derivatives.
