Summary

  • $135 a share marked SpaceX’s June 12 market debut, with the company launching what the report describes as the largest IPO in history.
  • Official filings now show where the stock landed across institutional equity portfolios, answering which major investors bought into the offering and in what size.
  • Those disclosures matter because institutional investors were widely expected to own SpaceX, and the filings turn that expectation into a clearer map of holdings.
  • The portfolio data also lands as investors scrutinize how large asset managers balance high-profile growth bets with broader ESG and renewables commitments.
