SpaceX (ISIN US84615Q1031) was trading at EUR 147.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 4:10 p.m. CEST, down 1.33 percent from the prior close. Ground News reported on October 8, 2026 that SpaceX was seeking USD 40 billion to finance Nvidia chip purchases for artificial intelligence computing.

Three milestones set the backdrop

On August 6, 2026, SpaceX said its planned Terafab facility would exceed 100 million square feet and require USD 16.8 billion in initial capital investment. On September 15, 2026, the company said Starship would move toward orbital missions and rely on more than 500 physical sensors. On September 28, 2026, The Business Standard reported that Starship reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 next-generation Starlink satellites.

What does the financing signal?

The reported financing would combine USD 10 billion in bank loans with USD 30 billion in investment-grade debt, according to Ground News. That structure links SpaceX's space and satellite ambitions to a capital-intensive computing strategy, while placing debt capacity alongside launch execution as a key valuation variable.
