Brokers like FxPro and Exness have introduced SpaceX CFDs, increasing retail access and contributing to trading activity.
Despite its valuation, SpaceX reported a $4.94 billion net loss on $18.67 billion in revenue in 2025.
SpaceX is now valued around $2.5 trillion, while Bitcoin sits closer to $1.3 trillion.

SpaceX’s rapid climb to a roughly $2.5 trillion valuation
marks more than a strong IPO debut; it highlights a shift in how investors
allocate capital across high-risk assets. The space exploration firm, founded by Elon Musk, now ranks among the
world’s largest firms, with a valuation nearly double that of Bitcoin.
The rally reflects more than limited share supply, although
the small float at listing amplified early price gains. Investors are pricing
SpaceX as a hybrid company that combines aerospace with artificial
intelligence.
The adoption among brokers is one of the reason behind the
surge. FxPro recently announced that its clients can now trade SpaceX shares
via contracts for difference (CFDs), following the company’s highly anticipated
public debut. SpaceX raised $75 billion in what is being described as the
largest IPO on record, with the stock jumping 19% on its first day to close at
$160.95.
What Could be Driving the Surge
By the end of its debut session, the company’s valuation
exceeded $2 trillion, placing it among the most valuable publicly listed firms
globally and drawing comparisons to some of the most significant technology
listings in Nasdaq history.
The broker said clients can access SpaceX CFDs with features
including fractional trading from 0.01 shares, the ability to take long or
short positions, and extended-hours trading on MT5 covering pre- and
post-market sessions.

Exness has introduced SpaceX as a CFD instrument following
the company’s high-profile public debut, offering traders access to one of the
most closely watched listings of 2026. The broker said the addition allows
clients to capitalize on heightened volatility and rapid price discovery
typically associated with major IPOs, particularly one of SpaceX’s scale and
broad market appeal.
At the same time, the company’s valuation raises clear
risks. SpaceX reported a net loss of $4.94 billion on $18.67 billion in revenue
in 2025. Its valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio above 130, leaving little
room for execution missteps.
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.… https://t.co/X5mepgXgjJ
The macro backdrop currently supports risk-taking, with
stable monetary policy expectations and easing inflation concerns. However,
this environment can change quickly. If sentiment weakens, assets with the
highest valuations and strongest narratives tend to react first.
SpaceX now sits at the center of this dynamic. Its
performance reflects where capital is flowing today, but it also highlights how
sensitive markets have become to shifts in growth expectations.
Bitcoin is trading around the mid‑$64,000
level, with the quoted spot price of 64,213.08 reflecting a modest intraday
move that fits within its recent consolidation range in June 2026.
The accompanying percentage changes suggest only fractional
shifts on the day but a slightly stronger performance over the past week and
month, underscoring how the market has cooled from late‑2025 highs
above $120,000 while still maintaining relatively elevated levels by historical
standards.
