Norway's Wealth Fund Eyes SpaceX Investment
23 Apr
Summary
- Norway's sovereign wealth fund is assessing an investment in SpaceX.
- SpaceX is controlled by Elon Musk and plans a massive IPO.
- The fund reported a Q1 loss due to Middle East conflict.

Norway's $2.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, is currently assessing the possibility of investing in SpaceX. The rocket and satellite company, led by Elon Musk, is anticipated to pursue an initial public offering this summer, which could set a record for the largest IPO.
Fund representatives have confirmed ongoing dialogue with SpaceX regarding this potential investment. This development occurs as the fund reported a significant first-quarter loss of 636 billion crowns. The decline in value was primarily influenced by the broader impact of the Middle East conflict on global stock markets.
Trond Grande, the deputy CEO of the fund, stated that discussions with companies, including SpaceX, are standard practice. While declining to elaborate further, his comments indicate a serious consideration of SpaceX as a potential investment opportunity for the Norwegian fund.
