#SpaceX市值超越微软跻身全球前五 Listed for 3 days, market value approaches 3 trillion USD, Elon Musk's net worth reaches 1.3 trillion USD, SpaceX is rewriting the global tech landscape
In the second week of June 2026, the history of the global capital markets was completely rewritten by a "rocket company."
On June 12th, SpaceX officially listed on NASDAQ, with the stock ticker SPCX. As of the close on June 16th, in just three trading days, SpaceX's stock price soared from the issuance price of $135 to $201.80, a cumulative increase of about 49.5%. During intraday trading, market capitalization once reached approximately $2.97 trillion, surpassing Microsoft and Amazon, briefly ranking as the fourth largest globally; by the close, it fell back to $2.66 trillion, surpassing Amazon to become the fifth largest company worldwide.
A company that was still losing $4.9 billion last year is demonstrating through its market performance that investors are willing to have extremely high expectations for the development potential of "space + AI."
01 Three trading days, market value from zero to 2.66 trillion
SpaceX's IPO was destined to be extraordinary from the start. An issue price of $135, approximately 555.6 million shares issued, with a base fundraising of $75 billion. On the first day of trading, the stock closed at $160.95, a 19.22% increase, with a market cap surpassing $2 trillion. And this was just the beginning. On the second trading day (June 15th), SpaceX continued its rally, closing up 19.6% at $192.50. The single-day market cap increased by about $410 billion, reaching a total of $2.52 trillion, ranking sixth among global listed companies.
On the third trading day (June 16th), SpaceX's intraday gains expanded to 17%, with market cap reaching $2.97 trillion, surpassing Amazon and Microsoft. By the close that day, SpaceX was at $201.80, with a market cap of $2.66 trillion, officially overtaking Amazon to become the fifth largest company globally.
In three trading days, from zero to $2.66 trillion. This is an extremely rare speed of market value growth in the history of global capital markets.
02 $85.7 billion in fundraising, the "green shoe" miracle of the largest IPO in history!
SpaceX not only surged rapidly but also raised a lot of capital. Underwriters Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JPMorgan fully exercised the "green shoe mechanism" (over-allotment option), purchasing an additional 83.3 million shares from SpaceX. This move pushed the total IPO fundraising from $75 billion to $85.7 billion. To compare, Saudi Aramco's IPO in 2019 set a record at $29.4 billion. SpaceX's over-allotment portion alone reached $10 billion, enough to rank among the largest IPOs in history. The IPO attracted over $350 billion in subscription funds, with retail investors subscribing about $100 billion and institutional investors about $250 billion. In the two days before listing, retail buying volume was equivalent to the total retail buy-in of the entire U.S. stock market last week. $85.7 billion. This figure not only broke global IPO records but also means SpaceX raised more funding through its listing than many countries' entire annual fiscal revenues.
03 $1.3 trillion: the first trillionaire in human history
Elon Musk's personal wealth is expanding at a dizzying speed. On June 15th alone, Musk's net assets increased by $164.8 billion in one day, a figure that exceeds the total net worth of the world's tenth-richest Warren Buffett (about $146.4 billion). According to Forbes' real-time billionaire list, Musk's net worth reached $1.3 trillion. This scale is roughly equivalent to the combined wealth of the second to sixth richest individuals globally, about 8.8 times Buffett's. He is about $1 trillion richer than the second-ranked Google co-founder Larry Page (net worth $301.4 billion). Looking at the timeline better illustrates the point: last October, Musk became the first billionaire to reach a net worth of $500 billion; by December, it hit $600 billion; just four days later, it surpassed $700 billion. With SpaceX's listing, this number was directly pushed into the trillion-dollar range. Musk owns about 4.8 billion shares of SpaceX stock, plus stock options for 350 million shares at an exercise price of $8.40 per share, with an ownership stake of about 38%.
04 Third day of listing, "spending" 60 billion: full stock acquisition of Cursor
While SpaceX's stock price continued to rise, Musk had already issued his first post-listing check, but he didn't spend a single cent in cash. On June 16th, SpaceX announced a $60 billion all-stock acquisition of Anysphere, the developer of AI programming assistant Cursor. Existing Cursor shareholders will convert their shares at a $60 billion implied valuation into SpaceX Class A common stock, with the merger expected to complete in Q3 2026. This deal had been foreshadowed earlier. In April, SpaceX had already secured an option to acquire Cursor at $60 billion; if they declined, they would pay $10 billion in partnership fees. Cursor's annualized B2B revenue is about $2.6 billion, 24 times higher than its valuation 15 months ago.
Why Cursor? SpaceX explained in its statement that Cursor has "leading products and distribution services aimed at professional software engineers," while SpaceX has "the Colossus supercomputer with millions of H100 processors," and combining the two will "build the most practically valuable model globally."
Previously, xAI (SpaceXAI) lagged behind OpenAI and Anthropic in the AI programming market. The addition of Cursor is expected to strengthen its layout in AI applications and developer ecosystems.
The story of SpaceX is essentially a pricing experiment about "faith." A company that lost $4.9 billion last year, with a market value surpassing Amazon and Microsoft in just four days. This valuation is not based on current profitability but on the capital market’s collective bet on the future of "space + AI," betting that Starlink can cover 500 million users, orbital data centers can solve Earth's energy bottlenecks, and Cursor can help xAI (SpaceXAI) catch up with OpenAI and Anthropic. The $85.7 billion raised, the $2.66 trillion market cap, and the $1.3 trillion personal wealth behind these numbers reflect humanity's unprecedented commercial attempt to "leave Earth."
Behind SpaceX's high valuation are the tangible support from the continuous expansion of Starlink's business and market long-term expectations for AI, orbital computing, and multi-planet infrastructure. Whether these expectations can gradually materialize remains to be seen, but what is certain is that SpaceX is no longer just a traditional aerospace company but is becoming an important example for observing future technological directions in the global capital market. For investors, what is truly worth continuous attention may not be short-term stock price fluctuations but how many of these grand visions can be realized in the coming years. $SPCX

Cursor's annualized B2B revenue is about $2.6 billion, 24 times its valuation from 15 months ago.
Why Cursor? SpaceX explained in its statement that Cursor has "leading products and distribution services aimed at professional software engineers," while SpaceX has "a supercomputer with millions of H100 processors called Colossus," and combining the two will "build the most practically valuable model globally."
Previously, xAI (SpaceXAI) lagged behind OpenAI and Anthropic in the AI programming market. The addition of Cursor is expected to strengthen its layout in AI application layers and developer ecosystems.
