On April 16, Bloomberg reported that a recently disclosed document reveals that Alphabet, Google's parent company, is poised to reap returns in the hundreds of billions from its early investment in SpaceX. According to disclosure documents submitted by SpaceX in Alaska this week, as of the end of 2025, Google holds a 6.11% stake in the company. If SpaceX achieves a valuation of $2 trillion or higher through its IPO, this stake would be worth $122 billion. However, following SpaceX's merger with xAI in February, Google's stake has been diluted, and estimates suggest it is currently around 5%, valued at approximately $100 billion based on a $2 trillion valuation. In this disclosure, only Google and Elon Musk (who holds about 40%) are required to report their holdings, but several other individuals and institutions are also expected to gain billions from the IPO. Google first invested in SpaceX in 2015, participating in a $1 billion funding round alongside Fidelity Investments, collectively acquiring about 10% of the shares.
