Blue Owl sold about half its SpaceX holding at $1.25 trillion valuation, co-CEO says
Blue Owl said the SpaceX stake returned about 10 times its money as the fund remains exposed to potential losses elsewhere in its portfolio.
- On Thursday, Blue Owl Capital co-CEO Marc Lipschultz announced the firm sold half its SpaceX investment at a $1.25 trillion valuation, realizing approximately 10 times its original equity stake.
- Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp invested $27 million of equity in SpaceX in 2021, leveraging its position as an early lender to eventually secure the stake and capture the tenfold gain.
- Lipschultz highlighted the sale as a hedge against software credit losses from AI disruption, stating, "Those are the ways... We can offset some of those losses."
- Blue Owl continues to hold the remaining half of its position, standing to gain approximately $440 billion in incremental valuation if the SpaceX IPO prices at its $1.75 trillion target.
- The SpaceX IPO is expected to raise about $75 billion, potentially surpassing the $29.4 billion Saudi Aramco IPO record, as markets organize around AI infrastructure valuations.
