# SpaceX opens at $150, an 11% pop for the most anticipated debut in history

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

SpaceX made its public market debut on Nasdaq, opening at $150 per share — an 11% pop above its $135 IPO price. The offering was oversubscribed 4x, with only about 4% of shares available as a public float. SpaceX successfully lobbied indexes like the Nasdaq 100 to fast-track its inclusion, further boosting demand. The IPO marks one of the largest VC windfalls in history: Founders Fund's $600M investment is now worth over $50B, Andreessen Horowitz's stake exceeds $10B, and Sequoia's tops $20B. The debut likely makes Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire, while roughly 4,400 SpaceX employees become millionaires.
