According to a report by Reuters on June 11, citing Bloomberg, individual investor orders for the SpaceX IPO have surpassed $70 billion (approximately 107 trillion won). Overall investor demand is reported to exceed $250 billion (about 383 trillion won).
In this IPO, SpaceX plans to sell 555.6 million Class A common shares at $135 each, aiming to raise $75 billion (around 115 trillion won). Based on the offering price, the company's valuation is estimated at approximately $1.77 trillion (about 2,708 trillion won), making it the largest IPO ever, surpassing that of Saudi Aramco.
SpaceX intends to allocate about 30% of the offering shares to individual investors, a notably high percentage compared to the typical 5-10% allocation in large IPOs. This surge in interest is also attributed to Musk's efforts to expand his retail investor base through Tesla.
Institutional investors have also shown strong interest. Bloomberg previously reported that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the Kuwait Investment Authority placed orders ranging from $1 billion to $5 billion (approximately 2 trillion to 8 trillion won). The Qatar Investment Authority is also said to be considering a substantial investment.
International allocations will be limited. SpaceX plans to allocate less than 10% of the IPO shares to overseas orders, with the allocation for Japan reportedly increasing from an initial $2 billion (about 3 trillion won) to $2.5 billion (approximately 4 trillion won).
