The real number

SpaceX (SPCX) Market Cap

$1.76T as of August 12, 2026 — spread across two share classes with very different voting rights.

Market cap $1.76T
Class A shares 7.70B 1 vote each
Class B shares 5.49B 10 votes each
Total shares 13.18B
A common mistake

Why "price × shares outstanding" gives you the wrong number

Most financial data providers, Alpha Vantage included, report a single "shares outstanding" figure that only counts Class A — the class that actually trades as SPCX. Multiply that by the share price and you get roughly $1.03T, well short of the real $1.76T market cap. The gap is Class B: 5.49B shares, held by insiders, that don't trade publicly but are still real equity and are counted in SpaceX's actual market capitalization.

Shares outstanding, by class

Source: SEC Form 10-Q, as of July 28, 2026.
Class Shares Votes per share Share of total votes
Class A (public, SPCX) 7.70B 1 12.3%
Class B (insider-held) 5.49B 10 87.7%
Total 13.18B 100%

Why the split matters

Class A shares carry 1 vote each; Class B shares carry 10. Class B is a minority of total shares outstanding but controls the majority of votes — see our investors page for what that means for anyone buying Class A stock on the open market.

Market cap vs. the last private valuation

Before its IPO, SpaceX's most-cited valuation came from private tender offers — the last one, in December 2025, priced it at $800B. That was a single negotiated round price, not a market value. Its real, exchange-set market cap today is more than double that. See our valuation page for the full pre- and post-IPO trajectory.
