How to Buy SpaceX Before the IPO (5 Ways)

The video predicts SpaceX’s expected June 12 IPO under ticker SPCX could hit a $1.75 trillion valuation, making it a market game-changer and likely pushing Elon Musk to trillionaire status sooner than expected. To facilitate this, NASDAQ introduced a fast-entry rule allowing major new IPOs to join the NASDAQ 100 within 15 trading days, a move tailor-made for SpaceX. Direct pre-IPO investing requires accredited status, so the host highlights alternative tickers for broader exposure—EchoStar (SATS), which holds billions in SpaceX stock, and Destiny Tech 100 (DXYZ), with SpaceX as a top holding, as cheaper pre-IPO plays. However, the recommended strategy is to buy the hype before June 12 and sell on IPO day itself, as that historically yields the greatest profits rather than holding long-term.

• ▶ 0:00 SpaceX is expected to IPO on June 12th under ticker SPCX, with a potential day-one valuation of $1.75 trillion, which could make it the sixth largest company by market cap.
• ▶ 0:36 The host calls the IPO a potential "total game changer" for the stock market, claiming it will "rewrite the rules of the NASDAQ."
• ▶ 0:42 The video promises two ways to buy SpaceX before the IPO and three hidden stocks that already own SpaceX shares for early access ahead of June 12th.

• ▶ 1:32 NASDAQ created a new “fast entry rule” that could let SpaceX join the NASDAQ 100 in as little as 15 trading days after its IPO, bypassing the old wait of a year or longer.

• ▶ 3:32 The rule applies only if a new IPO ranks among the largest 40 NASDAQ stocks, and the host says it was written specifically for SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

• ▶ 4:28 The SpaceX IPO is described as “almost guaranteed” to make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire, while early buyers could also become millionaires.

• ▶ 5:27 Direct pre-IPO purchase of SpaceX is very difficult and requires being an accredited investor with over $200,000 annual income or a net worth above $1 million, then finding another accredited investor to buy from or using a platform like Equities.
• ▶ 6:08 Non-accredited investors can buy SpaceX at the IPO through any broker, subscribing via the IPO section before trading begins; this is first-come, first-served, so expect it to sell out and subscribe as soon as possible.
• ▶ 8:05 IPO subscribers must hold the shares for at least 30 days; selling earlier results in being banned from future IPO subscriptions.
• ▶ 8:48 Buying SpaceX also means owning xAI, since SpaceX bought xAI earlier this year.

• ▶ 9:02 Echoar (SATS) offers public-market exposure to SpaceX before its IPO without needing accredited-investor status.

• ▶ 10:24 After 2025 asset swaps, Echoar holds the right to ~$11B of SpaceX stock; at February 2026’s $526/share price, that stake is worth ~$27.3B.

• ▶ 12:13 Because a $1.75T SpaceX IPO implies only ~6% upside for SATS, buying July call options — which price in an 11% move — can amplify returns if SpaceX rallies beyond that valuation.

• ▶ 13:37 Alphabet (GOOG) owns a 7.5% SpaceX stake, but that's less than 4% of Alphabet's value, so even a SpaceX doubling would barely move the stock.
• ▶ 14:28 Destiny Tech 100 (DXYZ) is highlighted as the best pre-IPO play: SpaceX is its second-largest holding, and after falling to $48 it offers a potential 32% profit if the price recovers before the IPO.
• ▶ 17:41 The recommended strategy is to "buy the hype, sell the news": buy pre-IPO exposure stocks like DXYZ or EchoStar leading up to the IPO, then sell on the IPO day itself, which has historically been the most profitable approach.
