SpaceX Eyes $20 Billion Bond Sale for AI Buildout and Loan Refinancing

3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 18

Summary

  • $20 billion or more in investment-grade dollar bonds could be pitched to investors as early as next week, marking SpaceX's first such bond sale.
  • The proceeds would fund a costly AI expansion and refinance the $20 billion bridge loan SpaceX took on after buying xAI in February.
  • Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley provided that bridge financing and are expected to run the bond deal.
  • SpaceX's valuation topped $2 trillion after last week's Nasdaq debut, but its shares were down 6% Thursday as investors weighed the price of its AI push.
