What changed: Updated headline and body to reflect the upcoming IPO timeline and BlackRock's massive investment instead of just the stock split.

This massive institutional interest follows the recent approval of a 5-for-1 stock split intended to boost liquidity. Compared to other major tech debuts, the scale of BlackRock's potential commitment is extraordinary, especially as SpaceX was last valued at approximately $180 billion in private secondary markets per market data.

Investors are closely monitoring market liquidity levels ahead of the debut, with U.S. interest rates holding steady at current levels (close May 16, 2026). According to the economic calendar, the upcoming U.S. Retail Sales data on May 19, 2026, will be a key catalyst for gauging broader market appetite before this historic listing.
