TAMPA, Fla. — SpaceX has taken a key step toward going public after confidentially filing for a potentially record-breaking initial public offering, according to multiple reports citing people familiar with the matter, in what space leaders hope is a watershed moment for the industry.
"SpaceX is the most anticipated IPO in history," said satellite industry analyst Armand Musey.
The move puts the company on track to raise as much as $75 billion in a June IPO that could target a valuation of more than $1.75 trillion, reported Bloomberg, which first covered the filing earlier today.
