SpaceX prices $25 billion inaugural bond offering across five tranches
Senior notes from 5.35% due 2031 to 6.65% due 2056, mainly to repay the pre-IPO bridge loan, per the company's 8-K.
what happened
SpaceX priced a $25 billion senior unsecured notes offering on June 23, comprising $7.0 billion of 5.350% notes due 2031, $6.0 billion of 5.650% notes due 2033, $6.0 billion of 5.875% notes due 2036, $2.5 billion of 6.600% notes due 2046 and $3.5 billion of 6.650% notes due 2056, per its SEC 8-K, with settlement expected June 26 and proceeds repaying its bridge loan facility in full. Per CNBC, the debt sale follows an IPO that raised nearly $86 billion including the underwriters' option, and the company disclosed holding just over $100 billion in cash.
why it matters
Two weeks after listing, SpaceX is establishing an investment-grade debt curve out to 30 years, giving the space economy its first benchmark corporate bond complex. The pricing sets a cost-of-capital reference every other space issuer will be measured against, and the deleveraging of the pre-IPO bridge cleans the balance sheet ahead of the capital-heavy Starship, Starlink and AI buildouts.
