SpaceX is worth a little more than $100 billion after investors agreed to a secondary sale of existing shares of the company.
According to people familiar with the deal, SpaceX has entered into an agreement to sell up to $755 million in existing shares.
Multiple sources confirmed with CNBC they will be offered at a price of $560 per share, indicating a valuation for the company of $100.3 billion.
Since it is a sale of existing shares, SpaceX will see no new capital added to their accounts.
With the new valuation, SpaceX is worth 33% more than it was earlier this year. In February the company was valued at $74 billion with shares at $419.99, one cent shy of one of Elon Musk’s favourite numbers.
It is also now the second-most valuable private company in the world. Only China’s Bytedance, the creator of Tik Tok and other social media services is worth more at $425 billion.
