SpaceX went public on June 12 in a record-setting IPO priced at $135 per share. Second-quarter regulatory filings have now revealed, for the first time, who owns the stock.
The filings show a mix of corporate giants, institutional funds, and one dominant individual.
Elon Musk controls 6.4 billion SpaceX shares. That is 48.4% of all outstanding stock. At the end of the second quarter, that stake was worth around $1.1 trillion. By the end of last week, with shares at $140, that figure had dropped to roughly $900 billion.
Combined with his Tesla holdings, Musk’s total net worth sits at around $1.1 trillion. He holds trillionaire status as long as SpaceX stock stays above roughly $120, assuming Tesla shares remain steady.
Musk is not eligible to sell his SpaceX shares until June 2027 and is unlikely to do so.
Alphabet disclosed a 551 million-share stake in SpaceX. At the end of the second quarter, when shares were at $171, that stake was worth around $94 billion. At current prices near $140, it is now worth approximately $77 billion.
Nvidia owns 123 million shares, just under 1% of outstanding stock. The company sells large volumes of GPUs to SpaceX. SpaceX merged with Musk’s AI company, xAI, in February, which makes Nvidia’s stake a strategic one.
Fidelity, BlackRock, Baillie Gifford, and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan are also major holders. Together they account for more than 455 million shares.
SpaceX sold around 556 million shares in its IPO, plus another 83 million through a broker over-allotment option. That was a small slice of the 13.2 billion shares outstanding.
About 912 million shares became available to trade after SpaceX’s second-quarter earnings report. Another 319 million shares unlock this week. By year-end, around 4.2 billion shares will have unlocked. That covers most of the stock not held by Musk.
SpaceX shares fell below $105 in August, partly due to concerns that early investors would sell once their lockup periods ended.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla’s shareholder-approved $1 trillion pay package for Musk contains a clause that could be triggered by a Tesla-SpaceX merger. A deal at a high enough price could erase key performance targets standing between Musk and that payout.
SpaceX stock was trading at $141.63 in premarket Monday, up 1.2%, while S&P 500 futures rose 0.2%.
