  • How Investors Can Buy SpaceX Stock Pre-IPO: 3 Key Options
    April 11, 2026, 5:11 AM EDT. SpaceX has confidentially filed for its IPO with the SEC, targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation and a potential $75 billion raise. Trading could start by July following a June roadshow. Investors unable to wait can gain exposure through three routes. The Ark Venture Fund offers 17% exposure but carries risks: a 2.9% expense ratio, limited quarterly liquidity, and heavy private company holdings. The Baron Partners Fund, with 33% SpaceX, boasts a 741% return over 10 years and allows more liquidity but focuses on fewer stocks. These funds provide pre-IPO opportunities but differ in risk and access. Retail investors eyeing SpaceX shares ahead of the blockbuster IPO should weigh fund structures, costs, and liquidity carefully.
