SpaceX Reportedly Releases 328 Million Insider Shares from Lockup Restrictions in a Hit to Market Supply

SpaceX reportedly ended the lockup period on nearly 328 million insider shares on September 24, 2026, opening the door for early shareholders and company employees to liquidate their stakes in the private equity market.

This volume is reportedly among the largest in the company's history in terms of the number of shares released at once, which could impact the stock price in the private secondary market if holders rush to sell around the same time, especially since the company remains unlisted on public stock markets.

SpaceX is reportedly experiencing a high valuation phase, with its estimated market valuation exceeding $350 billion, making this release closely watched by private equity investors seeking opportunities to liquidate their holdings or enter at lower valuations.

This move reportedly coincides with an accelerated expansion phase for SpaceX across multiple sectors, including the Starlink satellite internet network, cargo missions to the International Space Station, and major rocket projects, making a potential IPO exit an increasingly discussed topic without an official timeframe.
