      <title>SpaceX files for record $75bn IPO as Musk targets trillion-dollar valuation</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459325/spacex-files-for-record-75bn-ipo-as-musk-targets-trillion-dollar-valuation</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SpaceX has filed plans for a Wall Street listing that could raise to $75 billion, in what may become the largest initial public offering in history.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The filing marks the company’s first public disclosure of detailed financials in its 24-year history and comes as it targets a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion, according to US media reports.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The prospectus shows SpaceX generated $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025 but posted an operating loss of $2.6 billion as it invested heavily in next-generation rockets and artificial intelligence systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its Starlink satellite internet division remained the main revenue driver, bringing in $11.4 billion in 2025, up nearly 50% year-on-year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AI segment, which includes xAI and the social media platform X, recorded $3.2 billion in revenue but posted a $6.4 billion operating loss, driven by heavy spending on AI infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Capital expenditure in the segment reached $12.7 billion in 2025 and $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The filing also disclosed a $1.25 billion per month deal with AI firm Anthropic to rent data centre capacity through 2029.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the IPO, Elon Musk would serve as chief executive, chief technology officer and chairman, controlling around 85% of voting power while holding roughly 42% equity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SpaceX warned that the structure would give Musk control over key shareholder decisions, including board elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company also outlined long-term plans to build AI data centres in space, including deploying satellite-based computing infrastructure from 2028 and scaling toward 100 gigawatts of orbital compute capacity annually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It described space-based solar-powered computing as “the only truly scalable solution” to rising global AI energy demand and estimated a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion, excluding China and Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports suggest the listing could take place on Nasdaq under the ticker “SPCX” as early as June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said the IPO could be followed by a potential merger with Tesla, describing it as an AI-driven “holy grail.”&lt;/p&gt;
