Summary

Reuters reported that SpaceX has reportedly selected Nasdaq for its initial public offering under the ticker SPCX, with the deal potentially launching as early as June 11 and trading expected to begin on June 12. CNBC separately reported that SpaceX confidentially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in April and may publicly release its S-1 as soon as next week, while preparations are underway for a June 8 roadshow. CNBC also said the company is considering allocation for Japanese retail investors and that disclosure of SpaceX’s 8,285 BTC holdings could become a notable crypto-related feature of the IPO documentation. The timeline remains based on media reports rather than an official company announcement in the provided sources.
