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.
With Bitcoin valued at about $1.29 trillion and SpaceX sitting well above the $2.5 trillion mark after its IPO rally, SpaceX’s equity market value is now more than double Bitcoin’s, even though BTC is trading near $64,000 and remains one of the largest single assets in global markets.

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.
SpaceX’s rise also reflects a broader rotation of capital. Bitcoin’s market value, currently around $1.2–$1.3 trillion, shows that crypto still attracts interest, but it now competes directly with AI equities for the same pool of funds. Recent portfolio adjustments by large investors indicate that some are reducing crypto or other holdings to increase exposure to SpaceX.
Capital Rotation and Valuation Risks
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.

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.
