SpaceX Anthropic OpenAI IPO filings
SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI have coordinated what amounts to the largest insider share sale in financial market history. Over the past 11 days, three of the most valuable companies on the planet have filed to go public. SpaceX prices on Thursday at a $1.77 trillion valuation, marking the largest IPO ever.

We expect it to leak, so we're just announcing it, but they did leave the door open to staying private. It said that OpenAI has not decided on timing called going public a, quote, complicated set of trade-offs, and that this move gives OpenAI the option to move quickly if it chooses. For now, I'm told by a source of the company also plans to let employees sell shares through a tender offer at its current valuation, $850 billion roughly. So that would reduce some of the internal pressure, at least to rush out to public markets. It does come just days before we expect SpaceX to begin trading and only a week after rival Anthropic confidentially filed for its own IPO paperwork. As I mentioned last, valued around $850 billion. You have Anthropic that I mentioned, around $900 billion. SpaceX as well. This is on track to be now a multiple trillion dollar year in terms of IPOs.
