The most anticipated stock market event in history just became real — SpaceX filed its S-1 on May 20, 2026.

🔹 The basics
Ticker: SPCX. Exchange: Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas. Expected debut: June 12, 2026. Roadshow begins June 4. After 24 years as a private company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is opening its books to the world.

🔹 The scale is historic
SpaceX is targeting a raise of $75–80 billion — nearly three times larger than Saudi Aramco's $29.4 billion offering, the previous all-time record. Valuation estimates sit between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, while a synthetic SPCX-USD contract on Hyperliquid is already pricing the upper end near $2.4 trillion, driven by leveraged crypto traders.

🔹 What's inside the prospectus
Three distinct engines under one ticker. Starlink generated $11.4 billion in revenue in 2025 with a 63% EBITDA margin, surpassing 10.3 million subscribers across 164 countries. The entire business — launch services, Starship development, Starlink, and AI infrastructure from its merger with xAI — is coming to market as one package. SpaceX is also renting compute capacity from xAI's Colossus 1 data center in Memphis to Anthropic.

🔹 The Nasdaq-100 angle most are missing
Once SPCX begins trading, it automatically qualifies for the Nasdaq-100 after just 15 days — triggering mandatory forced buying from every ETF and index fund tracking the index. That means trillions in passively managed capital flows in regardless of valuation opinion. This reprices the entire space sector on day one.

🔹 The crypto connection
Planet Labs surged 110% year-to-date and Satellogic accelerated 407% YTD — every space-adjacent ticker is already repricing ahead of June 12. Risk appetite across growth tech and crypto tends to track mega-IPO sentiment cycles closely.

▫️ SpaceX put its total addressable market at $28.5 trillion in its prospectus. That figure alone tells you how Musk is framing the story.

The rocket company that rewrote aerospace is now rewriting Wall Street's record books — June 12 arrives fast.
