Privately held SpaceX has been working on a sale of employee shares that would value it at $400 billion, up 14% from six months ago, according to people familiar with the situation. Bloomberg reported earlier on the new valuation.
Meanwhile, SpaceX is sitting on more than $3 billion in cash, which has helped the company to expand without raising new capital, people familiar with the matter said.
Earlier this month, the company said it was connecting more than six million people around the world through Starlink. A Starlink business covering the company’s international side, along with some U.S.-related sales, saw 2024 revenue nearly double to $2.7 billion from the year earlier, according to a company document viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Starlink continued to grow, with revenue shooting up to $744 million in 2024, from $367 million the previous year, according to the document viewed by the Journal. Across Africa, a nascent market, revenue topped $100 million, up from about $19 million.
User terminals for the service are also expensive. A recent search for U.S. addresses showed costs at $349 for that equipment, and Farrar, the satellite-industry analyst, estimates the company must subsidize their costs to spur consumer access.
Farrar, uno degli esperti citati nell’articolo, ha commentato in un thread che inizia qui:
