Mega IPOs from SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI could reshape US markets

SpaceX plans to flood the Nasdaq with a $75 billion share offering on June 12, aiming to become the largest U.S. IPO ever. The rocket maker’s filing signals a shift from private funding to public markets, giving investors direct exposure to Musk’s launch pipeline and satellite broadband ambitions, and fund new missions. Analysts see the move as a test of market appetite for mega‑scale tech listings.

Anthropic filed its IPO draft on June 1, targeting a valuation that could pull in as much as $60 billion. OpenAI, its rival, is rumored to follow with a similarly sized offering. Together with SpaceX, the three companies could inject up to $4 trillion into U.S. public equities within months, dwarfing recent tech listings and reshaping index composition.

Investors face a rare concentration of capital‑intensive AI and aerospace assets in a single trading day. The influx could boost liquidity for satellite constellations, large‑model training clusters, and downstream software ecosystems that rely on these platforms. Market participants will watch pricing and allocation closely, as the outcome will set a benchmark for future trillion‑dollar tech IPOs and spur further venture capital interest.
