Largest IPOs with SpaceX’s expected $80B+ IPO
The chart compares completed IPO proceeds of $50M+ since 2019 with SpaceX’s reported expected IPO proceeds of $80B+.
SpaceX’s figure is shown as a reported/expected target, not a completed IPO.
All figures are gross proceeds in U.S. dollars.
For context, Saudi Aramco’s 2019 IPO raised $25.6B, the largest completed IPO in the dataset.
If SpaceX reaches the reported $80B+ target, it would be more than 3× Aramco’s record IPO.
The scale is partly explained by the capital needs behind the business.
According to the filing and Bloomberg Intelligence, SpaceX plans to use proceeds for AI compute infrastructure, launch infrastructure and vehicles, and satellite constellation capacity.
2025 financial context:
• Starlink/Connectivity: +$4.42B operating income
• xAI: -$6.4B operating loss
• AI-related capex: 61% of SpaceX’s $20.74B total capex
So the simple read is: Starlink generates cash, while AI infrastructure and Starship consume capital.
That is why I wanted to compare the reported IPO target against the biggest completed listings of recent years.
