There's currently zero liquidity in cryptocurrencies, and all the interest is in the SpaceX IPO,
$SPCX.
A couple of thoughts on the IPO: I haven't had time to research it further, but from what little I've seen, the market cap is 1.75T, the IPO price is $135, $75B raised, and the P/S is 94x, one of the highest ever seen for a large-cap launch.
Key numbers from Q1 (2025): Revenue: $18.7 billion ( 33% YoY)
→ Starlink: $11.4 billion (61%, 10.3 million subscribers)
→ Launch: $4.1 billion
→ AI (xAI): $3.2 billion
Adjusted EBITDA: $6.6 billion (Starlink cash cow)
Net loss: $4.9 billion (Q1 2026: -$4.3 billion)
Huge capex: ~$20 billion (Starship AI orbital data centers)
SpaceX reported TAM: $28.5 TRILLION (space connectivity AI).
1) Starlink, the most valuable asset, according to the data that emerged:
- approximately 9 or 10 million users
- already profitable business
- Q1 operating profit = 1.19B
Assuming that in 2035:
- 50M users
- average ARPU $40
- revenues 24B
50M x 40 x 12 = 24B, Starlink alone could be worth over 216B
2) Launch business:
relatively small market, even doubling or tripling launches: future revenues 20/30B, high margins; Estimated value = 150/300B
3) Starship, here's the real crux:
The market is placing enormous value on something that isn't yet economically proven.
4) Orbital AI, the most speculative asset, probably worth zero today, but the market is valuing it at around 200B or more.
Silly question: what does
$SPCX have to do to be worth 1.75T today?
Assuming a future P/E of 25x, a required return of 10%, it should reach annual earnings in the range of 60/80B by the mid-2030s.
So what are we buying here?
Starlink dominance, Starship's commercial success, leadership in space launches, future businesses related to AI and space infrastructure.
The question I ask myself is, how much success is already in the price?
We're betting that the future imagined by Musk will almost entirely come true.
