SpaceX Is Entering Your Retirement Account in 3 Waves. Here's the Timeline.

SpaceX went public on June 12, 2026, with an IPO that raised $86 billion at $135 per share, opening at $150 and closing near $161. Retirement investors can now access SpaceX through three channels: existing private funds (Wave 1), new 401(k) rules allowing private assets in target-date funds (Wave 2), and direct stock ownership (Wave 3). However, the $2.1 trillion valuation leaves little room for execution errors, and investors should be cautious about the lofty first-day pricing.
