AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Ark Invest’s futurist Brett Winton argues that SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could be valued at nearly $2 trillion, largely on the strength of its Starlink satellite‑internet business, which generates about $13 billion in annual revenue and delivers roughly 500 terabits per second of bandwidth. The company plans to price shares at $135, raising about $75 billion by selling 555.6 million shares (with an option for an additional $11.2 billion), while Elon Musk retains over 82 percent voting control. Winton ties SpaceX’s growth not only to reusable rockets but also to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, estimating AI‑related enterprises could create $15‑$20 trillion of value by 2030. Ark’s Venture Fund, whose largest holding is private SpaceX shares (about 11.4 % of assets), has risen roughly 15 % this year and over 70 % in the past twelve months, betting on Starlink’s potential to soar further as the Starship launch system enables massive, cheaper satellite deployments and could eventually drive hundreds of billions in revenue.
