- SpaceX plans a $75 billion IPO in June, which would be the largest near‑term public listing with a major Bitcoin treasury.
- SpaceX disclosed 18,712 BTC in its S‑1 filing, valued at about $1.45 billion, making it the biggest known corporate Bitcoin holder among firms filing for a public listing.
- Nasdaq’s “fast entry” rule allows mega‑cap IPOs to join the Nasdaq 100 within 15 trading days, so SpaceX could become one of the index’s largest constituents if its post‑IPO valuation reaches $1.75‑$2 trillion.
- Tesla holds 11,509 BTC; together with SpaceX’s holdings, 25 % of the newly formed “Mag 8” of mega‑cap stocks will have Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
- Nic Puckrin cites JPMorgan estimates that SpaceX’s Nasdaq 100 entry could trigger passive outflows of over $20 billion from Nvidia and about $16 billion from Apple as funds rebalance.
Why it matters: Investors in Nasdaq‑100 index funds will shift billions into SpaceX, pulling roughly $20 billion from Nvidia and $16 billion from Apple, and Bitcoin’s price faces downside risk as the new mega‑cap exposure reshapes the tech‑crypto correlation.
