SpaceX is gearing up for a blockbuster insider share sale that could value the company at an unprecedented $750–$800 billion, making it the most valuable private company in the world. According to people familiar with the discussions, SpaceX’s board reviewed the proposal during a meeting at its Starbase headquarters in Texas, though final terms may shift depending on investor appetite and employee participation.
If executed, the transaction would eclipse OpenAI’s recent $500 billion valuation, reinforcing SpaceX’s dominance in the commercial space and satellite broadband sectors. Sources indicate that the tentative price under discussion exceeds $400 per share, reflecting soaring demand driven by SpaceX’s remarkable operational scale, reusable launch systems, and rapid global expansion of Starlink, its satellite internet constellation.
Crucially, the company will not be raising new capital. Instead, the offering is designed to give liquidity to employees and early shareholders something SpaceX has facilitated through regular buybacks and tender offers. For a company operating at the cutting edge of aerospace and internet infrastructure, maintaining employee retention through liquidity windows has become essential.
Adding further intrigue, SpaceX is also exploring a potential initial public offering as early as late 2026, according to one source. While no decision is final, growing investor interest and Starlink’s maturing financial performance could set the stage for one of the most anticipated IPOs in history.
Following Bloomberg’s report, Elon Musk clarified on X that SpaceX is not raising money at an $800 billion valuation but acknowledged the company’s ongoing buyback program. Musk emphasized that SpaceX has been cash-flow positive for years, underscoring its financial strength amid surging demand for launches and satellite services.
If the insider share sale proceeds at the discussed valuation, SpaceX would cement its status as the most valuable private enterprise ever, reshaping expectations for the commercial space industry and signaling the immense market confidence in Musk’s ambitious vision.
