US EditionSpaceX aims for $800 billion valuation in secondary share sale, WSJ reports
SpaceX’s $800 billion secondary share sale doubles its previous valuation to provide liquidity and support a potential 2026 IPO, surpassing OpenAI as the top private U.S. company.
- On December 5, 2025, SpaceX is reported to be preparing an insider share sale that would value the company at roughly $800 billion, more than doubling its recent $400 billion worth, The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times said.
- The move aims to provide liquidity for employees and early shareholders through a secondary offering, while SpaceX has told investors it is targeting an IPO in the second half of next year.
- On Thursday, the SpaceX board discussed the tender offer with preliminary per-share scenarios valuing the company at roughly $560 billion or higher, and EchoStar shares rose 18% after recent license sales to SpaceX totaling about $2.6 billion.
- Executives have repeatedly floated a Starlink spin-off, though Elon Musk has cast doubt while Bret Johnsen said a Starlink IPO is likely 'in the years to come'; meanwhile, SpaceX develops its Starship vehicle for mass Starlink launches and lunar missions.
- If confirmed, the offering would vault SpaceX past OpenAI’s $500 billion mark, making it the world’s most valuable privately held company amid routine mega-valuations in private secondary sales.
