SpaceX extends post-IPO gains as Musk touts $1 trillion revenue goal

SPCX rose as much as 16% on Monday to nearly 39% above its IPO price, while strong institutional and retail demand, an enlarged share sale and crypto-linked trading amplified the post-listing rally.

Fact Check
Reuters directly confirms Musk's $1 trillion 2030 SpaceX revenue projection made shortly after a record IPO valuing SpaceX over $2 trillion. BlockBeats corroborates the same figures. The Defiant and Yahoo Finance confirm the record Nasdaq IPO under SPCX and heavy trading of tokenized versions on Solana (Backpack Securities). The core claim is strongly supported. The only unverified detail is the specific naming of Gate.com as a trading venue, and the framing that shares rose after IPO debut is consistent with reporting (SPCX surged). The headline overstates 'crypto venues' as the listing was primarily Nasdaq, but tokenized Solana trading is confirmed.
Summary

SpaceX extended its post-IPO rally, with shares rising as much as 16% on Monday and trading nearly 39% above the offering price, pushing its valuation above roughly $2.1 trillion and at times near $2.3 trillion, close to Amazon’s market capitalization. The surge came as Elon Musk said annual revenue could reach $1 trillion by 2030, while investors including Baron Capital and Ark Invest added stakes, underwriters exercised an option for 83.33 million additional shares that lifted IPO proceeds to about $85.7 billion, and crypto-linked trading tied to the stock price surged.
