SpaceX draws $89 billion in demand for its debut bond sale, one of the largest US offerings this year

SpaceX attracted $89 billion in investor demand for its debut investment-grade bond sale, seeking to raise $20–25 billion across five tranches to refinance a $20 billion bridge loan. The bridge loan had earlier been used to retire high-interest junk debt from X and xAI. All three major credit rating agencies assigned SpaceX investment-grade ratings, citing Starlink's 12 million subscribers and dominant launch position, while flagging AI expansion risks and governance concerns. The bond sale follows SpaceX's record-breaking $75 billion IPO two weeks prior, meaning the company could raise roughly $100 billion from public markets in under a month — an unprecedented feat. SpaceX reported $101 billion in cash but also a net loss of nearly $5 billion in 2025 and negative free cash flow of $14 billion, driven largely by AI division spending. The company also recently acquired AI coding startup Anysphere, maker of Cursor, in a $60 billion all-stock deal.
