The shares will debut on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Texas on June 12, 2026 (Eastern Time), under the ticker symbol "SPCX."

Retail investors have submitted bids for more than $100 billion in orders, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the development. The company is expected to set aside at least 20% of the shares for retail investors.

The Texas-headquartered firm has also received orders from around 1,000 institutional investors, the report said.

SpaceX, in a statement, said that it has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 83,333,333 shares of its Class A common stock at the IPO price.

The company's revenue climbed 15% to $4.69 billion in the first quarter of CY2026 compared to $4.07 billion a year back. In CY25, revenue advanced 33% year-on-year to $18.67 billion.

The company posted a net loss of $4.28 billion in the first quarter vs $4.94 billion a year earlier.

The public issue will make Musk the world's first trillionaire. He holds over 82% of voting power at SpaceX, which virtually gives him complete control over the board.
