Sitting Out the SpaceX IPO? Why That’s Hard to Do

SpaceX is set to debut its initial public offering (IPO) on June 12, 2026, aiming for a record $75 billion valuation. This IPO will offer regular investors their first chance to invest in the company, which is closely watched by Wall Street. The offering is already reported to be more than four times oversubscribed, indicating strong demand. Investors will likely receive indirect exposure through stock funds tracking major indexes, as some indexes are adjusting their rules to include SpaceX sooner than previously anticipated.

Wall Street has been fixated on the stock market debut of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The rocket-and-AI company’s initial public offering on June 12 is set to be the largest in history.

For many regular investors whose main holdings tend to be in publicly traded securities, this will be the first opportunity to include SpaceX in their portfolios. Even those who would prefer to sit on the sidelines are likely to have some exposure. That’s because stock funds that track the Nasdaq-100 and other major indexes will be required to add SpaceX to their holdings. And due to recent rule changes, some indexes will include SpaceX much sooner than they would have in the past.
