The company saw over $370 billion in Space from space-enabled solutions, as well as a Starlink opportunity worth $1.6 trillion, including “$870 billion in Starlink Broadband and $740 billion in Starlink Mobile,” SpaceX said.
By far its largest opportunity lies with artificial intelligence, the company said, in an opportunity worth $26.5 trillion, including over $2.4 trillion in infrastructure, $760 billion in consumer subscriptions, $600 billion in digital advertising, and over “$22.7 trillion in enterprise applications.”
However, SpaceX mentioned that it had excluded opportunities from Russia and China in its calculations of the company’s global estimates. In the filing, SpaceX also revealed it held over $1 billion in cryptocurrency assets.
SpaceX IPO
The company is aiming to raise over $75 billion on a valuation of $1.75 trillion via its listing. SpaceX, in the S-1 filing, shared that it had recorded $18.7 billion in revenue last year and posted a $4.9 billion loss during the same period. The company also revealed asteroid mining as a possible opportunity, too.
Notably, investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) is reportedly going to be the lead left underwriter for the IPO, with Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) also playing a key role in the listing.
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:BLK) is also reportedly considering a multi-billion-dollar investment in the upcoming IPO, with the company targeting investments of anywhere between $5 billion and $10 billion.
SpaceX will list on the Nasdaq and will trade under the symbol “SPCX.” Nasdaq had recently announced a series of rule changes that could expedite SpaceX’s entry into the Nasdaq 100 index.
