SpaceX Shares Surge as Company Raises Record $85.7 Billion

SpaceX shares continued their massive rally on Monday after the company announced it had raised a record-breaking $85.7 billion from investors.

The stock jumped nearly 20% during trading, adding to its strong debut gains from Friday and pushing the company’s valuation above $2.5 trillion.

SpaceX Among World’s Most Valuable Companies

After two days of explosive trading, SpaceX shares climbed to around $192.8, up sharply from their Nasdaq debut price of $135.

The rally has now placed SpaceX among the six most valuable companies globally, surpassing firms like:

• Tesla
• Broadcom
• Saudi Aramco

while moving closer to tech giants such as Amazon.

Investor Demand Forces Extra Share Sale

Investor demand for SpaceX shares was reportedly so strong that banks managing the offering activated a “greenshoe option,” allowing the sale of additional shares beyond the original plan.

The company ultimately sold nearly 639 million shares, including over 83 million extra shares added due to overwhelming demand.

Originally expected to raise around $75 billion, the final amount increased to approximately $85.7 billion.

Elon Musk’s Wealth Soars Again

The massive surge in SpaceX’s valuation has further boosted the wealth of Elon Musk.

Reports suggest Musk has now become the world’s first trillionaire on paper, driven largely by the soaring value of his technology and aerospace ventures.

SpaceX Expands Beyond Rockets

Founded in 2002, SpaceX started as a private rocket company but has since expanded into satellite internet, artificial intelligence, and social media technologies.

The company now operates major projects including:

• Starlink satellite internet services
• reusable rocket systems
• deep space exploration programmes
• integration with Musk’s AI company xAI

The group also includes ties to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Mars Missions and Space Data Centres Fuel Valuation

Much of SpaceX’s enormous market value is based on investor belief in Musk’s long-term futuristic ambitions.

These include plans to:

• send humans to Mars
• build large-scale space infrastructure
• launch orbital data centres
• expand satellite-based internet globally

While many of these technologies are still under development, investor confidence around Musk’s vision continues driving strong market enthusiasm for SpaceX.
