3 Key Points

  • What happened

    SpaceX has formally filed its S-1 prospectus with the SEC to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, marking the first time the public can buy shares in the company. SpaceX generated $18.67 billion(約3兆円) in revenue in 2025, driven largely by Starlink satellite internet service which brought in more than $11 billion(約1.8兆円), but the company lost over $4.9 billion(約7800億円) last year with capital expenditures soaring to $20.7 billion(約3.3兆円).

  • Why it matters

    The IPO could make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire and is reportedly the largest initial public offering in human history. However, the S-1 filing reveals that Musk's companies—including Tesla, xAI, Grok, X, and others—are deeply intertwined with SpaceX through financial relationships that are often difficult to track, and Musk himself is listed as a key risk factor to the company.

  • What to watch

    SpaceX is scheduled to begin trading on Friday. The company's total addressable market (TAM) is listed as $28.5 trillion(約4600兆円), though the company remains unprofitable and the long-term viability of its space-based AI data center business remains unproven.
