SpaceX valued at $210 billion: a new record value for a startup

SpaceX, the space company founded by Elon Musk, received a record valuation of $210 billion after its insider shares were sold at a price of $112 apiece. This made SpaceX the second most valuable startup in the world, surpassing the previous valuation of $180 billion, which was set in the previous transaction last December.

According to Bloomberg, this valuation makes SpaceX the second most valuable startup, ahead of many other global technology companies. Only the Chinese company ByteDance Ltd., the developer of the popular application TikTok, has a higher estimate - $268 billion.

The decision to raise SpaceX's valuation to $210 billion was driven by significant investor interest in the company. This new valuation is a record for an American private company and reflects the enormous market potential of SpaceX in space technology and satellite services.

According to reports, the tender offer agreement for the sale of shares is not yet final and its size may change depending on the interests of both insider sellers and buyers. The high price of the shares during the last trade indicates the confidence of the insiders in the future success of the company and the faith in its innovative technologies.

SpaceX continues to play an active role in the development of the private space sector, launching regular missions to the International Space Station and expanding its global Starlink satellite network. This contributes not only to scientific research into space, but also to the development of commercial interests in the field of satellite communications and the global Internet.
