SpaceX is planning to allocate up to 30% of its IPO to retail investors. For context, most IPOs reserve somewhere between 5% and 10% for non-institutional buyers. This isn’t a token gesture. It’s a structural shift in how a company worth potentially $1.75 to $2 trillion is choosing to go public.
The numbers behind the hype
The IPO is projected to raise approximately $75 billion at an estimated share price of around $135. Pricing is expected to occur after the US market close on June 11, 2026. Trading could begin as early as June 12.
The demand signal from Europe is already loud. Tens of thousands of registrations have been reported in the UK alone, with platforms like Revolut, Hargreaves Lansdown, and eToro positioning themselves as the primary access points for retail participation across the UK and EU member nations.
