Sign InIn a historic milestone for global finance, SpaceX shares commenced trading on Friday in the largest IPO ever recorded, with the company's valuation soaring past the $2 trillion mark. According to analyst reports, the offering saw immense international appetite, including Japanese investors seeking to subscribe to over 1 trillion yen (approximately $6.2 billion), while the company confirmed holding Bitcoin (BTC) on its balance sheet.
The $2 trillion valuation represents a seismic shift in the aerospace and defense sector; for context, SpaceX is now valued at roughly 17 times Lockheed Martin’s market cap of $118 billion per market data (close June 11, 2026). This public debut marks a massive leap from its final private valuation of $210 billion in June 2024, positioning the firm alongside tech titans like Apple and Microsoft.
As the stock settles at these record levels following the June 12, 2026 close, traders are focused on the sustainability of this valuation and the impact of Bitcoin price swings on equity volatility. Looking ahead, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release on June 17 serves as a vital catalyst that will influence liquidity and risk appetite for mega-cap growth stocks.
Update: SpaceX shares have been officially listed on the Nasdaq exchange, cementing its status as the largest IPO in financial market history. This listing venue is expected to bolster liquidity and appeal to both institutional and retail investors within the US market.
Update: Crypto markets have witnessed a sharp speculative wave, driving the Velvet token price up by over 1,400% in a single week. This price explosion is fueled by mounting rumors regarding a potential SpaceX IPO, highlighting the extreme optimism and high risks associated with digital assets tracking private company news.
Update: Recent trading data shows the SPCX perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid rallying to trade between $176 and $183. This move marks a significant recovery from a weekly low near $153, climbing past the mid-week level of $157 amid surging speculative demand.
