On Friday, June 12, 2026, SpaceX stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq exchange. In this concise article, moneyland.ch answers key questions about the biggest initial public offering (IPO) to date.
What is SpaceX?
SpaceX is a US aerospace, tech, and AI company. The company was founded by Elon Musk in 2022, and Musk remains its CEO and CTO. While SpaceX business covers many different activities, the company is best known for its Starlink satellite-based telecom network. SpaceX also carries out space transportation for NASA, as well as space tourism. It is also active in the field of artificial intelligence through its subsidiary XAI.
How much will SpaceX stock cost?
SpaceX is aiming to launch at 135 US dollars (around 108 Swiss francs) per share. If that price is achieved, SpaceX’s resulting market capitalization would be 1.77 trillion US dollars. The value of the stock being made available to the public would be 75 billion dollars. Although just five percent of SpaceX’s stock will be included in the IPO, that is still enough to make this the biggest initial public offering in history (refer to the table below).
The IPO will likely be very profitable for Elon Musk himself. As founder and CEO of SpaceX, he holds between 42 and 49 percent of its shares, depending on how stock options are valued. Musk may potentially become the world’s first trillionaire, in US dollars.

What does the IPO mean for ETF investors?

That is primarily true for the Nasdaq 100 index, but global indexes like the MSCI World and FTSE ALL-World are also affected.
