SpaceX secures ticker symbol SPCX ahead of blockbuster $75 billion IPO
SpaceX just locked down the Nasdaq ticker SPCX, and the price tag wasn’t for a rocket. The company paid Tuttle Capital Management to acquire the symbol after a switch finalized in April 2026, clearing the last symbolic hurdle before what’s shaping up to be one of the largest IPOs in history.
The offering targets a share price of roughly $135, with approximately 555.6 million shares on the block. If you do the math, that’s around $75 billion in capital raised and a company valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion.
The road to Nasdaq
SpaceX, formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., filed confidentially in April 2026 before releasing a public prospectus in May. The IPO is targeting pricing around June 11, 2026, with trading expected to begin the following day on June 12.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are among the major underwriters backing the deal.
If the IPO prices as planned, Elon Musk would simultaneously be at the helm of two trillion-dollar enterprises. Tesla already sits in that territory.
The Bitcoin wrinkle
SpaceX holds approximately $1.29 billion in Bitcoin as of its IPO filing. That’s a meaningful chunk of the balance sheet for a company about to go public, and it creates a direct link between Bitcoin’s price action and SpaceX’s perceived value.
When SpaceX reports quarterly results, its BTC holdings will be marked to market. Strong Bitcoin performance improves the balance sheet. Weak performance becomes a headline risk for a trillion-dollar public company.
Crypto exchanges are already trading the hype
Binance and Coinbase have launched pre-IPO perpetual contracts tied to SpaceX’s valuation, letting traders speculate on the company’s worth using stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
These instruments give crypto-native traders access to equity-adjacent speculation, and they give the broader market a real-time sentiment gauge before shares even start trading.

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.
Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?
Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.
"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test
Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
