SpaceX Market Cap Contracts $1 Trillion as Lockup Schedule Collides With Starship Scrub

Conflicting price data and a looming supply release test the aerospace giant's valuation weeks after its record Nasdaq debut.

SpaceX shares traded at approximately $81 on July 19, marking a decline of roughly 40% from their June peak and erasing more than $1 trillion in market capitalization since the company briefly crossed the $2.64 trillion threshold [5][10][11]. This valuation reset arrives as the aerospace manufacturer approaches a critical liquidity event in August, when lockup expirations begin releasing insider shares that could exceed the volume sold during the initial public offering itself [6]. The stock’s descent from a record-breaking debut to a post-IPO stress test illustrates the friction between capital formation schedules and operational execution risks in public markets.
