SpaceX, the space technology and artificial intelligence firm, is reportedly targeting an expected Initial Public Offering (IPO) valuation of $75 billion (equivalent to 0.861 euro). This valuation would position it as a potentially record-setting offering. For context, the largest recorded IPO belongs to the Saudi Arabian oil company, Saudi Aramco, which raised $29.4 billion from investors in 2019, according to reports.
The details of the planned ipo involve the sale of 555.6 million shares, with the initial price set at $135 per share. If the company’s valuation reaches the higher estimate of $1.77 trillion, it would elevate Elon Musk to the status of the first world trillionaire. Regarding the financial structure post-offering, Musk addressed the matter of banking relationships, stating that the company is well-informed regarding its alternative funding options.
Following the ipo, Musk is slated to retain approximately half of the company’s shares. Furthermore, his ownership of special shares grants him control over more than 80% of the voting power within the corporation. These figures represent a significant financial event for the technology sector, measured in billions and trillions of dollars.
