Fidelity Slashes SpaceX IPO Entry to $2,000, Opens to Retail Investors

Fidelity has reduced the minimum investment for the SpaceX IPO from $500,000 to $2,000, making it accessible to millions of retail investors. This follows SpaceX reserving up to 30% of its offering for retail clients, a rare move compared to typical IPOs. The listing, expected on Nasdaq under ticker SPCX on June 12, 2026, could be the largest ever at a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion. SpaceX plans to sell about 555.6 million shares at $135 each, raising up to $85.7 billion. However, retail investors face anti-flipping rules: selling within 15 days at Fidelity leads to a six-month ban for first offense, escalating to permanent exclusion. Other brokers like Robinhood, SoFi, Charles Schwab, and E*Trade have similar but varying penalties. Despite the lowered entry, allocation is not guaranteed due to high demand and limited float (around 4%). Goldman Sachs projects SpaceX AI revenue to grow 100-fold by 2030, but the valuation relies on unproven growth. Retail investors should weigh long-term holding against quick profit risks.
