- Company plans a summer IPO targeting $1.75 trillion valuation.
SpaceX, the company renowned for revitalizing space travel, is now targeting a colossal opportunity in enterprise artificial intelligence. Recent filings indicate the company estimates a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion, with an overwhelming $26.5 trillion projected to stem from the AI sector.
The company is preparing for a summer initial public offering, seeking to raise approximately $75 billion and targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion. This IPO would be the largest in history, reflecting its ambitious future plans.
Despite its current revenue primarily coming from Starlink, SpaceX's acquisition of xAI, though deeply loss-making, underscores its commitment to AI. The AI unit posted significant operating losses in 2025, far exceeding the profits from Starlink.
SpaceX's substantial investment in AI is evident, with capital expenditures surging to support AI development, including graphics processing units (GPUs). The company plans to build a specialized salesforce and deploy forward-deployed engineers to assist enterprise clients in adopting AI solutions.
