SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share after market close on June 11, 2026, with trading beginning today on the Nasdaq under ticker SPCX. The offering raises $75 billion — nearly 3× Saudi Aramco’s 2019 record — and values the company at approximately $1.75–1.77 trillion. Oppenheimer initiated with Outperform and a 12-18 month price target of $190, while New Street Research set a target of $165. Retail investors placed over $70 billion in orders, nearly filling the entire raise on their own. SpaceX has allocated ~20–30% of shares to retail, triple the industry norm. Critically, SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC on its balance sheet, giving every SPCX shareholder indirect Bitcoin exposure. 15 days post-listing, SpaceX enters the Nasdaq 100, triggering an estimated $22–27 billion in forced mechanical buying from QQQ index funds — a key catalyst institutional investors are already positioning for.

Bitcoin rose from $61,000 to $63,073 after US CPI data for May 2026 was released on June 10–11, indicating that inflation — while still elevated at ~3.8% YoY — may be plateaking. BTC had slipped under $60,000 on June 5, a level not seen since September 2024, with much of the decline blamed on SpaceX IPO liquidity rotation and Iran-related risk-off selling. The rebound above $62,857 suggests bearish momentum is exhausting. SpaceX’s S-1 disclosed a 18,712 BTC treasury, meaning the company’s Nasdaq listing gives traditional investors indirect BTC exposure — a longer-term bullish signal for crypto markets.

Wall Street staged a strong recovery on June 11 after US–Iran ceasefire signals reduced geopolitical risk.
