Some institutional capital rotated out of Magnificent Seven positions to free up room for SPCX. That makes the debut a broader market <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a> event, not just a SpaceX milestone.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX now sits among the most valuable public companies in the United States after a single trading session. The valuation rests on <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/starlink-usage-turns-fatal-in-iran-internet-blackout\/\">Starlink<\/a>\u2018s recurring revenue, reusable rocket dominance, NASA and commercial contracts, and long-term plans for Mars and space-based infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2>What Comes Next<\/h2>\n<p>Friday was a market coronation. The harder test begins now: whether Starlink profits and launch leadership can grow fast enough to justify a $2 trillion-plus valuation while the AI division continues to consume capital at a pace that would stress most balance sheets.<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s net worth, now officially in 13-digit territory, will move with the stock. Paper wealth based on equity prices can shift quickly. The next earnings report will give investors their first look at whether the filing\u2019s numbers are trending in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/spacex-hits-2-1t-on-debut-day-making-elon-musk-the-worlds-first-trillionaire\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways SpaceX raised $75 billion in the largest initial public offering (IPO) ever recorded, opening SPCX at $150 on June 12, 2026.
