SpaceX Sets Terms for the Largest IPO Ever: ~$1.75T Valuation, Up to $75B, Trading June 12 as SPCX

SpaceX has locked in the schedule for what would be the biggest IPO in history: an investor roadshow opening June 4, pricing on June 11 and a Nasdaq debut on June 12 under the ticker SPCX, targeting a valuation around $1.75 trillion and a raise of up to $75 billion. That would dwarf Saudi Aramco's $35.4 billion record — and the prospectus is also where the AI world learned SpaceX is renting Anthropic $1.25 billion of compute a month.
