Hello.
SpaceX just told investors to clear their calendars for April briefings. The SEC filing is imminent. And Elon Musk is reportedly planning to hand 30% of the shares directly to retail investors, which is three times the industry standard.
The largest IPO in human history is approaching, and people who don’t pay attention will get left behind.
We've been tracking this for weeks. Today we're breaking down the numbers, the timeline, and the stocks that are already moving ahead of the listing. If you want our full breakdown of the six names we think are best positioned before SpaceX goes public, we put together a free guide you can grab below.

Earn income from leasing your gold
Most gold just sits there.
Monetary Metals figured out how to put it to work.
It’s called gold leasing, and it’s a way to earn income without selling your gold.
How it works
You lease physical gold to vetted businesses who need the metal.
Lessees use the metal and pay a lease rate.
In return, you earn a yield.
Payments are made in physical gold, paid in ounces.
Each lease is independently structured, heavily diligenced, and insured. You remain the title owner.
Why gold leasing beats traditional ownership:
Earn income. Without giving up your gold exposure.
No high premiums. Buy metal at <1% over spot.
No insurance or storage fees. Free on all metal.
No reliance on price or speculation. Tied to real industrial demand.
Legal protections. Your gold lives outside counterparty balance sheets.
If you believe in gold as a long-term store of value, this adds something most investors never get: income.
🚀 The Largest IPO in History Might Be Weeks Away
SpaceX is preparing to file its S-1 with the SEC as early as this week, with investor briefings scheduled for April and a public listing targeted for this summer. The company is expected to raise as much as $75 billion at a valuation north of $1.75 trillion, dwarfing Saudi Aramco's $29 billion record from 2019 and making it the most valuable company to ever hit the public markets on day one.
The numbers behind the hype feel pretty real in our opinion. Starlink now has over 9.2 million active subscribers, doubled its user base in 15 months, and generated over $10 billion in revenue last year with analysts projecting as much as $24 billion in 2026. The launch business remains dominant. And prediction markets are pricing in a 96% chance the IPO closes above $1 trillion.
What Makes This Different
Musk is rewriting the IPO playbook. Instead of the usual 5–10% retail allocation, he's pushing for 30% of shares to go directly to everyday investors. Bank of America will handle domestic retail distribution. Morgan Stanley's E*TRADE platform will process smaller orders. Citigroup gets international retail and institutional.
The strategy feels very Elon: bypass the Wall Street gatekeepers, build a base of loyal retail shareholders, and bet they won't flip on day one. It's the same kind of logic that turned Tesla's shareholder base into a movement. Whether it works at this scale is the trillion-dollar question… but if you're a retail investor, you've never had a seat this close to an IPO this large.
We broke down six of the stocks we think are best-positioned to benefit from a SpaceX IPO in this free guide. Take a look, and if even one of them wasn’t on your radar yet, we’d consider it a win!
