Bezos is reportedly set to invest $2bn into the company himself.

Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin is reportedly nearing closing a $10bn funding round that would value the space company at around $130bn. This would be the first time Blue Origin is opening itself up to outside investors since being found in 2000.

Bezos is set to invest $2bn into the company himself, while Coatue Management – with close ties to Bezos Expeditions – is committing $4bn, reports suggest.

The remaining $4bn has seen significant demand, sources tell news publications, mirroring recent investor appetite around major tech IPO listings.
