SpaceX Targets 2 Trillion Valuation The Largest IPO in History

On June 12, SpaceX plans to list on Nasdaq targeting a valuation of 1.75 trillion to 2 trillion US dollars. The company seeks approximately 75 billion dollars in funding. If successful, this would be the largest IPO in global history.

The company has already completed a 1 for 5 stock split. Elon Musk has said he will not sell any shares. BlackRock is considering a 5 to 10 billion dollar investment.

But the market is split on whether this valuation makes sense.

Ark Invest believes 1.75 trillion has a reasonable basis. Their thesis: Starlink subscriptions, Mars contracts with the Department of Defense, and Starship cargo missions create a multi-trillion total addressable market. Reusable rockets give SpaceX a monopoly moat. They argue SpaceX is not a launch company. It is AWS for space.

A professor at NYU thinks 1 trillion is more reasonable. The bear case: Last year SpaceX did roughly 20 billion in revenue. A 2 trillion valuation implies a price to sales ratio of about 100 times. For context, Tesla trades at 8 times sales. Nvidia, the AI leader, trades at 35 times sales. To justify 2 trillion at a 10 times multiple, SpaceX would need 200 billion in annual revenue. Today it has 20 billion.

A strategist at Jonestrading noted that speculative elements are quite high. The entire IPO hinges on one event: The Starship V3 critical test flight scheduled for May 20.

If Starship V3 succeeds, market confidence in SpaceX's technological capabilities holds. The 1.75 trillion valuation stays on the table. Tesla likely rallies 5 percent on sympathy. Risk assets like Bitcoin probably catch a bid.

If Starship V3 fails, the valuation reprices fast. The 1 trillion bear case becomes the base case. Tesla drops 3 percent. Risk-off returns.

My view as a trader: I do not buy IPOs at 100 times sales without a catalyst. Starship V3 on May 20 is the catalyst. Until I see that rocket fly and land, I have no position.

But I am watching three things:

First, Polymarket odds. The market "Will SpaceX IPO above 1.5 trillion valuation" is currently 58 percent Yes. If V3 succeeds, that jumps to 75 percent. If it fails, it crashes to 30 percent. Prediction markets move before CNBC.

Second, the TradFi calendar. CME launches Nasdaq Crypto Index Futures on June 8. The index includes BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, XLM. Four days later, SpaceX lists. June is when institutions get two things: a 1 click crypto basket, and a 2 trillion space stock. This is liquidity competition.

Third, the CLARITY Act. It passed Senate Banking 15 to 9. Prediction markets give 74 percent odds it becomes law in 2026. Regulation clarity plus SpaceX IPO plus CME futures means one thing: The "frontier tech" trade is being institutionalized.

So what is my play?
If Starship V3 succeeds May 20, I buy the dip on SpaceX post-IPO. I do not chase 100 times sales on day one. I wait for the first -20 percent drawdown and enter. I also long the CME index assets before June 8. When Wall Street gets a basket, they buy the basket.

If Starship V3 fails, I short the hype. I wait for the valuation to cut to 1 trillion and reassess. I also reduce crypto risk, because a SpaceX failure is a risk-off event for all innovation assets.

Never forget: Laszlo's pizza trade cost 10,000 BTC.
A SpaceX IPO at the wrong price can cost you more. The market charges tuition. Money is cheaper than ego.

My question for you: What is your fair value for SpaceX?
Is 2 trillion dollars reasonable, or is this the dot-com bubble of space?
