The filing showed that the company is betting heavily on becoming an AI-driven space powerhouse, with much of its long-term growth strategy relying on technologies and markets that have yet to fully emerge, including Mars missions and space-based AI data centers.

Founded by Elon Musk, SpaceX reported an operating loss of $1.94 billion during the first quarter despite generating revenue of $4.69 billion.

The company’s AI division accounted for a major portion of losses, posting a deficit of $2.47 billion on revenue of $818 million. The filing indicated that AI spending intensified following SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI, which significantly increased capital expenditures.

Meanwhile, satellite internet unit Starlink remained the company’s strongest-performing business segment, recording an operating profit of $1.19 billion.

SpaceX said it aims to explore emerging markets such as space-based computing infrastructure and AI-powered systems, with projections pointing to a potential multi-trillion-dollar market opportunity.

The filing also confirmed that Musk will retain significant control over the company through a dual-class share structure, giving insiders stronger voting rights than public shareholders.

Analysts believe the IPO could become one of the largest in history, potentially valuing SpaceX at around $1.75 trillion and making it one of the world’s most valuable publicly traded companies.

SpaceX is expected to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SPCX”.
