In early April 2026, multiple media outlets reported that SpaceX submitted draft registration documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO). Reports suggest the company is exploring a significant valuation, with some estimates cited in the range of $1.75 trillion or higher, though final terms, timing, and completion of any offering remain subject to market conditions and regulatory review.
This development follows SpaceX’s ongoing achievements, including a high cadence of Falcon launches, continued expansion of its Starlink satellite internet constellation serving millions of users worldwide, and progress on the next-generation Starship vehicle.
Jetstream Venture Fund’s holdings
Jetstream Venture Fund holds a private secondary position in SpaceX as part of its broader portfolio of innovation-focused companies. This investment aligns with our strategy of seeking exposure to companies with strong operational traction and large addressable markets in sectors such as aerospace and advanced technology.
SpaceX represents one holding within a managed portfolio that also includes other companies, such as Carbogenesis, Hill Research, Shield AI and more. See our Jetstream Venture Fund news section to learn about our current portfolio companies.
Context on portfolio valuations
If you’re new to venture fund mechanics, changes in our valuation of individual portfolio companies — whether driven by financings, milestones, or other market developments — are reflected in the Fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) calculations. When a company reaches a significant milestone, it can lead to a higher valuation. Alternatively, if a company has encountered setbacks or is unwound, it can result in a lower valuation.
Any future revaluation or liquidity event involving this position could contribute to movements in the fund’s overall NAV and share price, depending on the size of the position and other factors. However:
- Valuations of private companies are inherently estimates and subject to change.
- Past or current unrealized gains do not guarantee future performance.
- Early investors in the fund participate in value changes, both higher and lower, from their date of entry, while new investors purchase at the then-current NAV and participate prospectively.
Our strategy focuses on building a concentrated yet diverse portfolio of what we believe are high-conviction opportunities where individual step-changes have the potential to influence overall fund results. We believe this approach aligns with the long-term, high-risk nature of venture capital investing, yet with our evergreen fund strategy – we are able to balance risk and offer semiannual liquidity.
Important considerations
We must always add that venture capital investments involve substantial risks, including the potential for complete loss of capital, and high volatility. Not all portfolio companies will experience positive revaluations, and many may underperform or fail.
SpaceX, like other holdings, faces execution risks, regulatory hurdles, technological challenges, market competition, and dependency on key personnel. Any potential IPO remains uncertain in timing, valuation, and completion.
Looking forward
We continue to monitor developments across the entire portfolio, including SpaceX and other companies. Our goal is to manage the fund prudently while seeking exposure to transformative technologies, while balancing the fund with interest or shares in publicly traded companies, money market funds and high-yield cash management vehicles. This layered approach allows the fund to pursue growth opportunities while maintaining a more balanced risk profile.
