SpaceX is evaluating a potential IPO on Nasdaq, aiming to raise up to $50 billion, which would mark one of the largest offerings in history. A key condition for this listing is early inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index.
The valuation could exceed $1.75 trillion, setting a new record for the tech and aerospace sectors. The IPO proceeds are expected to support projects like the Starship rocket and AI data centers in space.
The Nasdaq proposed a 'Fast Entry' rule to expedite listings of firms with high market capitalizations, which could apply to SpaceX. Concurrently, other tech firms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are also preparing for IPOs amid rising market interest.
