SpaceX remains the private company many retail investors dream of owning. Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite giant is helping launch NASA missions, blanketing the planet with Starlink internet – and, as of mid‑2025, it’s reportedly being valued around $400 billion in insider share sales. [1]
Yet as of 14 November 2025, there is still no public SpaceX stock you can type into a brokerage app. Buying SpaceX shares is possible only through a patchwork of private markets, specialist funds and indirect routes – all with meaningful risks.
Below is a news‑driven, investor‑focused guide to how to invest in SpaceX, what SpaceX stock is worth today on private markets, and which companies and funds actually own SpaceX shares right now.
Important: Nothing here is personal investment advice. Private and thematic investments are risky and illiquid – always do your own research or speak to a licensed adviser.
1. Is SpaceX publicly traded in 2025?
Short answer: No.
- SpaceX is still a privately held company. It has no official ticker and no listing on the NYSE, Nasdaq or any other stock exchange. [2]
- Any “ticker-like” symbols you may see (such as SPAX.PVT on finance portals) are synthetic identifiers used for private-market data feeds, not tradeable stocks. [3]
However, Elon Musk just reignited IPO speculation:
- On 6 November 2025, at Tesla’s shareholder meeting, Musk said he had been “giving a lot of thought” to how supporters and Tesla investors could own SpaceX stock, adding that “maybe at some point SpaceX should become a public company” and referencing the 2,500‑shareholder threshold that often forces private firms toward an IPO. [4]
- At the same time, reports from Bloomberg and others say SpaceX is preparing or has prepared an insider share sale around a $400 billion valuation, one of the highest ever for a private U.S. company. [5]
Bottom line for 14 November 2025: there is no S‑1 filing, no confirmed IPO date and no retail trading in SpaceX stock yet – just strong hints that public ownership is being considered and large insider deals are happening in the background.
2. SpaceX stock price and valuation today (14 November 2025)
Because SpaceX is private, there’s no single “official” price. Instead, investors look at:
2.1 Tender-offer valuations
SpaceX runs regular employee and insider tender offers that effectively set reference prices:
- June 2024: internal tender reportedly valued SpaceX around $210 billion (~$112 per share). [6]
- December 2024: another tender around $350 billion, at about $185 per share. [7]
- Mid‑2025: Bloomberg‑sourced reporting via TechCrunch and others says a follow‑on round plus tender was structured at around $212 per share, implying roughly a $400 billion valuation. [8]
These tenders are not public markets, but they’re the closest thing to an official SpaceX price.
2.2 Secondary-market reference prices
Several private‑market platforms and data providers now publish indicative SpaceX prices:
- Forge Global: lists a “Forge Price” of $230.44 per share as of 13 November 2025, expressly describing this as a derived price based on private transactions and indications of interest. [9]
- Hiive: shows an estimated SpaceX price of $248.77 per share with no live orders as of 13 November 2025. [10]
- Notice.co, which algorithmically builds prices from secondary data, displays a SpaceX “stock price” of around $193.88 and an implied valuation in the mid‑$300 billion range, updated 14 November 2025. [11]
These numbers don’t always match each other or the tender-offer prices. They’re estimates, not tradeable quotes, but they line up directionally with the narrative:
SpaceX is currently valued somewhere in the high‑$300 billion to ~$400 billion band, depending on which tender or private‑market source you use.
3. SpaceX news that matters for investors – 14 November 2025
If you’re following SpaceX as a potential investor, today’s headlines matter because they shape demand, competitive dynamics and future cash flows, even if you can’t buy the stock directly yet.
3.1 Launch cadence and Starlink growth
- On 14 November 2025, SpaceX is scheduled to launch 29 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, using a Falcon 9 booster flying its 24th mission – another datapoint in the company’s high‑reuse launch model. [12]
Starlink already has millions of subscribers and is a major contributor to revenue – Republic’s rSPAX offering, which closed earlier this month, summarizes 2024–2025 metrics such as more than 6 million Starlink users and 134 orbital launches in 2024. [13]
3.2 Competitive pressure from Blue Origin
SpaceX’s investment story is no longer a one‑company show:
- Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin has just successfully launched a NASA Mars mission on its New Glenn heavy‑lift vehicle and nailed the booster landing on an ocean platform, in headlines dated today or within the last 24 hours. [14]
- Bloomberg and other outlets describe New Glenn’s progress as “true competition” for SpaceX in the commercial and government launch market. [15]
For investors, this reduces some of SpaceX’s perceived monopoly power in launch services and could moderate long‑term margin assumptions, even if SpaceX still leads by launch volume and Starlink scale.
3.3 EchoStar–SpaceX spectrum deal: a new indirect way in
- In September 2025, EchoStar agreed to sell AWS‑4 and related spectrum to SpaceX in a deal worth up to $17 billion, half in cash and half in SpaceX stock. [16]
- Barron’s notes that this could leave EchoStar with a SpaceX stake equivalent to over 35% of EchoStar’s own valuation, effectively turning EchoStar into a public proxy on SpaceX (albeit with other businesses attached). [17]
This is precisely the kind of structural deal that creates fresh “backdoor exposure” routes to SpaceX for stock‑market investors.
4. How to buy SpaceX stock before the IPO (2025 playbook)
Because SpaceX is private, any kind of exposure comes with extra complexity, fees and risk. Here are the main paths investors are actually using today.
4.1 Route 1 – Private secondary marketplaces (accredited investors only)
Platforms like Forge Global, Hiive, EquityZen and others specialize in private‑company stock:
- Forge’s dedicated SpaceX page invites investors to “invest and sell SpaceX stock” and provides the derived Forge Price. [18]
- Hiive lists SpaceX with a live indicative price but often zero live orders, underscoring how illiquid these markets are. [19]
- Guides from StockAnalysis and WallStreetZen both highlight these marketplaces as a primary way for accredited investors to buy SpaceX shares directly from existing insiders, subject to platform and issuer restrictions. [20]
Pros
- Direct ownership of SpaceX shares (or of SPVs that hold them).
- Access to tender‑offer prices and occasional negotiated blocks.
Cons
- Typically U.S. “accredited investor” only – you must meet income or net‑worth thresholds. [21]
- High minimums, wide bid/ask spreads, limited deal flow.
- Information asymmetry: you’re trading against insiders with better data.
4.2 Route 2 – Closed‑end funds and interval funds holding SpaceX
Several publicly traded or registered funds disclose SpaceX as a major holding. Buying their shares on an exchange, or via a fund platform, is often the most practical way for ordinary investors to get exposure.
Some key examples (data as of the latest available 2024–2025 disclosures; all percentages can change):
- Destiny Tech100 (ticker: DXYZ, NYSE) – closed‑end fund
- MarketWatch and other sources report that SpaceX made up about 36.9% of DXYZ’s portfolio as of 30 Sept 2024, and more recent commentary suggests economic exposure above 50% as new deals closed. [22]
- DXYZ has traded at huge premiums to its net asset value (NAV) because investors are willing to overpay for its private‑company stakes, especially SpaceX and OpenAI. [23]
- Baron Partners Fund (BPTRX) & Baron Focused Growth Fund (BFGIX) – U.S. mutual funds
- Baillie Gifford investment trusts (UK‑listed) – USA, Schiehallion, Scottish Mortgage & others
- AIC analysis in July 2025 notes that Baillie Gifford US Growth (USA) had about 11.1% of its portfolio in SpaceX and Schiehallion (MNTN) around 9%, with SpaceX also featuring in Scottish Mortgage (SMT) and Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI). [26]
- ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) – U.S. interval fund for both retail and accredited investors
- StockAnalysis’ October 2025 overview lists SpaceX as the fund’s largest holding at around 9.4% of assets at that time, alongside private AI leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic. [27]
- Fidelity mutual funds
- A Business Insider report from February 2025 says Fidelity Contrafund values its SpaceX stake at more than $2.7 billion, making SpaceX its 11th‑largest holding and implying an overall SpaceX valuation above $280 billion at that time. [28]
- RIT Capital Partners (LSE: RCP)
- The Times reported in March 2025 that RIT holds about £26 million in SpaceX, roughly 0.7% of its NAV, framing SpaceX as one of several private “trophy” stakes. [29]
- EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS) – spectrum‑rich telco now gaining a large SpaceX stake
- Thanks to the $17 billion spectrum sale, EchoStar is expected to receive a multi‑billion‑dollar stake in SpaceX, which Barron’s estimates at more than a third of EchoStar’s equity value – effectively turning SATS into a hybrid telecom/SpaceX proxy. [30]
Pros
- Accessible via regular brokerage accounts (mutual funds, closed‑end funds, listed trusts).
- Professional management and some diversification (you’re not only buying SpaceX).
Cons
- You’re buying a whole fund, not pure SpaceX. Other holdings, fees and discounts/premiums to NAV heavily influence returns.
- Fund allocations can change materially without you noticing unless you monitor reports.
4.3 Route 3 – Mirror tokens & structured products (very high risk, limited access)
Newer vehicles tokenise exposure to SpaceX through SPVs:
- rSPAX on Republic is a “mirror token” designed to track the performance of SpaceX common stock. The offering closed on 1 November 2025 after raising about $2 million; highlights reference the $185/share December 2024 tender, an August 2025 secondary price snapshot of $246.80, and an implied $350 billion valuation at the time. [31]
For now, this isn’t open to new investors, but it illustrates where the market is going: blockchain‑wrapped vehicles that mirror private‑stock performance.
Caveats
- Tokens often carry jurisdictional, regulatory and counterparty risk on top of underlying SpaceX volatility.
- Liquidity may depend on a single platform or thin secondary markets.
4.4 Route 4 – Indirect exposure via corporate owners (Alphabet and others)
Some large public companies hold equity stakes in SpaceX:
- Alphabet (Google) invested about $900 million alongside Fidelity in 2015, originally for roughly 7.5% of SpaceX, and remains cited as a major shareholder as of 2025. [32]
- Commentary from Seeking Alpha and LinkedIn‑type analyses suggest this stake could now be worth tens of billions of dollars, though it’s still a small fraction of Alphabet’s total value. [33]
Owning Alphabet shares gives you a tiny slice of SpaceX plus a lot of Google, YouTube, cloud and AI exposure. Similar logic applies to any other public company that might receive SpaceX stock as part of strategic deals (like EchoStar).
5. Who actually owns SpaceX in 2025?
While the full cap table is private, several major shareholders and fund holders are widely reported:
5.1 Control: Elon Musk and his trust
- The Elon Musk Revocable Trust is believed to hold about 54% of SpaceX equity and roughly 78% of voting power, according to multiple ownership breakdowns that have been cited and re‑cited in recent analyses. [34]
This effectively gives Musk de facto control, similar to his position at Tesla and X.
5.2 Major institutional & venture investors
Sources aggregating funding rounds and private‑equity data list these key backers: [35]
- Alphabet (GOOGL) – ~7.5% stake from the 2015 round, still cited as a major external shareholder.
- Fidelity Investments – multiple funds including Contrafund and Growth Company Fund hold SpaceX preferred shares. [36]
- Founders Fund (Peter Thiel), Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Valor Equity Partners, Gigafund – venture funds across early and later rounds.
- Baillie Gifford – via several growth and private‑company mandates (USA, Schiehallion, Scottish Mortgage, Edinburgh Worldwide, etc.). [37]
5.3 Publicly accessible funds with notable SpaceX stakes
These are the vehicles retail investors can directly buy that are known to own SpaceX:
- Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ) – closed‑end fund, historically 30–50% of portfolio in SpaceX. [38]
- Baron Partners Fund (BPTRX) – SpaceX as second‑largest holding (about 17%). [39]
- Baron Focused Growth Fund (BFGIX) – SpaceX as largest holding (~12% of net assets). [40]
- Baillie Gifford US Growth (USA), Schiehallion (MNTN), Scottish Mortgage (SMT), Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI) – each lists SpaceX among top private holdings, with USA and MNTN both in the high single‑digit to low double‑digit percentage range. [41]
- ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) – SpaceX as largest holding (~9% when last disclosed). [42]
- Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX) – around $2.7 billion in Series G SpaceX shares, making SpaceX its 11th‑largest position. [43]
- RIT Capital Partners (RCP) – ~£26 million stake. [44]
- EchoStar (SATS) – large pending stake tied to the AWS‑4 spectrum transaction. [45]
Think of these as the outer layer of SpaceX ownership that the public can piggyback on.
6. Practical steps to try to buy SpaceX exposure today
Here’s a more tactical, step‑by‑step framework for 14 November 2025.
Step 1 – Decide if you really need direct SpaceX shares
Ask yourself:
- Are you trying to maximize upside at any cost, or
- Are you comfortable with indirect exposure via funds and proxies?
For many investors, Alphabet, DXYZ, Baron funds or Baillie Gifford trusts already provide meaningful SpaceX exposure plus diversification, without the headaches of secondary markets.
Step 2 – Check if you qualify as an accredited investor
If you’re in the U.S. and want direct shares via Forge, Hiive or similar, you’ll typically need to meet accredited‑investor rules (for example, $1M+ net worth excluding primary residence, or high income over several years). [46]
If you don’t qualify, skip straight to funds and ETFs.
Step 3 – Explore private platforms (if accredited)
- Sign up with platforms like Forge Global or Hiive and complete KYC checks.
- Watch SpaceX listings for:
- Minimum investment size
- Share class (common vs preferred)
- Seller type (employee, fund, SPV)
- Be ready for long settlement times, limited liquidity, and high minimums.
Step 4 – Consider public funds and trusts
Through a typical brokerage account you can:
- Buy DXYZ, BPTRX, BFGIX, USA, MNTN, SMT, EWI or ARKVX depending on your jurisdiction and access. [47]
- Or buy SATS or GOOGL as corporate‑holder proxies, knowing SpaceX is only part of their value. [48]
Always check:
- Latest fact sheets or annual reports for up‑to‑date SpaceX weightings.
- Premium or discount to NAV for closed‑end funds (DXYZ in particular has traded at extreme premiums). [49]
Step 5 – Size your position and manage risk
SpaceX is an early‑stage, capital‑intensive, politically exposed business:
- Highly concentrated positions (for example, a single fund that’s 30–50% in SpaceX) can swing wildly with every new launch, regulatory headline or tender‑offer repricing. [50]
- It’s common for financial planners working with SpaceX employees to warn about over‑concentration in one private company, even when the paper valuation looks huge. [51]
A common approach is to treat SpaceX exposure as a satellite position in a portfolio: exciting, but capped at a size where a big drawdown won’t derail your finances.
7. Key risks of investing in (or around) SpaceX
Before you chase the rockets, understand the downside:
- Illiquidity & lock‑ups
- Private shares can be impossible to sell outside rare tender windows or secondary deals. Interval funds like ARKVX limit redemptions to periodic repurchase offers. [52]
- Valuation uncertainty
- A move from $210B → $350B → $400B in just over a year underscores how deal‑driven valuations are. If Starlink growth or Starship milestones disappoint, the next tender could reset expectations lower. [53]
- Execution and competition risk
- Blue Origin’s recent NASA Mars mission and New Glenn booster landing show serious progress from a well‑funded rival. [54]
- Regulatory scrutiny around Starlink spectrum use and government contracts adds another layer of risk.
- Political and key‑person risk
- Musk’s central role – and occasional hints about returning to politics – appear explicitly in tender‑offer risk language and media reports, reminding investors that his personal decisions can materially affect SpaceX. [55]
- Fund‑structure risk
- Closed‑end funds like DXYZ can trade at huge premiums to NAV, which can evaporate even if the underlying SpaceX stake performs well. [56]
8. Quick FAQ – SpaceX stock in 2025
Q: Can I buy SpaceX stock on Robinhood, eToro or my normal broker?
A: No. As of 14 November 2025, SpaceX is private. You can only get exposure through private markets (accredited investors), specialist funds, or indirect corporate stakes.
Q: What’s the best way for a small investor to get SpaceX exposure?
A: For most retail investors, publicly traded funds like Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ), Baron Partners (BPTRX), Baron Focused Growth (BFGIX), Baillie Gifford trusts (USA, MNTN, SMT, EWI), or broad holders like Alphabet (GOOGL) or EchoStar (SATS) are more realistic than direct shares – but they all carry their own specific risks and fees. [57]
Q: Will SpaceX IPO in 2026?
A: There is no official timetable. Musk’s early‑November remarks that SpaceX “should become a public company at some point” are the strongest signal yet, but they’re still just that – a signal, not a schedule. [58]
