Citigroup announced on March 4 2026 that it has joined the underwriting syndicate for SpaceX’s forthcoming initial public offering, joining Barclays and Deutsche Bank as the other lead banks.
The SpaceX IPO is expected to value the company at more than $1.75 trillion and to raise roughly $50 billion, making it one of the largest public offerings in history. Citigroup’s role will involve structuring the deal, marketing the shares, and leveraging its global distribution network to reach institutional investors worldwide.
By underwriting the offering, Citigroup stands to earn substantial fees and to deepen its exposure to the high‑growth space‑technology sector. The bank’s participation signals confidence in SpaceX’s valuation and growth prospects and positions Citi to pursue future advisory and financing opportunities with the aerospace company and other space‑tech firms.
SpaceX’s IPO will provide capital to fund major projects such as the Starship launch vehicle and the expansion of the Starlink satellite broadband network. Citi’s involvement underscores its capability to manage mega‑deals and to support clients in emerging, capital‑intensive industries.
Citigroup’s broader strategy includes streamlining operations and investing in technology and AI to improve efficiency. The SpaceX underwriting deal aligns with this focus by expanding the bank’s presence in innovative, high‑growth markets while generating significant underwriting revenue.
