ick reported that Elon Musk’s SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) tapped the bond market for $25 billion in a sale that priced less than two weeks after its record-breaking IPO. The deal landed at terms typically reserved for the highest-quality corporate borrowers, signaling that fixed-income investors are willing to lend to the newly public space, connectivity, and AI company on terms close to those granted to America’s most established blue-chip companies
SpaceX Had $90 Billion of Orders for the $25 Billion Debt Raise According to Quick, the financing was priced across five tranches with 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30-year maturities. The benchmark 10-year notes were priced at just 1.4 percentage points above U.S. Treasuries, an unusually tight spread for a company that only recently began trading publicly.
For context, the 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.51% on June 22, 2026, near the upper end of its 12-month range that spanned 3.97% to 4.67%. People familiar with the fundraising told CNBC that the sale drew close to $90 billion in orders, well in excess of the $25 billion offered. SpaceX said the proceeds will be used to repay a bridge loan and fund other corporate purposes, shifting the capital structure from short-term bridge financing toward a layered ladder of long-dated debt.
