SpaceX officially filed for its public debut on the Nasdaq on Wednesday, with expectations that it and other tech mega-IPOs like OpenAI and Anthropic could reach unprecedented valuations on their first trading days. Polymarket traders estimate a 56% chance that SpaceX, currently valued at $1.25 trillion, will surpass $2.2 trillion, while OpenAI, with a last valuation of $852 billion, has a 65% probability of ending its debut above $1.4 trillion. These valuations could position them above Berkshire Hathaway’s market cap of $1.03 trillion. This wave of IPOs aligns with analysts suggesting that the broader U.S. equity market can accommodate these high-value listings without major disruptions, as companies have remained private longer, exploring various funding avenues.
