Google’s stake in SpaceX has climbed above $100 billion, according to details highlighted by Crypto Briefing following the aerospace company’s Nasdaq debut. The milestone reflects the extraordinary growth of an investment that began more than a decade ago with a $1 billion funding commitment.
SpaceX closed its market debut with a valuation of roughly $2.1 trillion, placing it among the world’s most valuable companies. Consequently, early investors have seen the value of their holdings rise substantially as public markets assign a premium to the company’s position in the space and satellite industries.
Google entered SpaceX in 2015 alongside Fidelity through a $1 billion investment. In exchange, the two firms secured a combined 10% ownership stake in Elon Musk’s aerospace company. Since then, SpaceX has expanded its commercial launch operations and strengthened its Starlink satellite business across global markets.
According to the report, Google held approximately 6.11% of SpaceX at the end of 2025. However, dilution resulting from the company’s merger with xAI earlier this year may have reduced Google’s effective ownership to around 5%. Even with that lower percentage, Google’s position is now estimated to be worth about $105 billion. As a result, the investment ranks among the most profitable long-term bets in the company’s history.

Several venture capital firms have also benefited from SpaceX’s rise in value. Investors that supported the company during its earlier fundraising rounds are now sitting on substantial gains. Founders Fund, the venture capital firm led by Peter Thiel, is among the biggest winners. The firm reportedly invested around $600 million in SpaceX and currently owns roughly 3% of the company.
Based on SpaceX’s latest valuation, that stake is now worth more than $60 billion. Additionally, firms including Valor Equity Partners, DFJ Growth, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz have recorded significant appreciation in the value of their holdings. The strong market debut has also renewed interest in private technology investments. Many investors view SpaceX as a prime example of how long-term capital commitments can generate substantial returns when companies achieve scale.
Moreover, attention is beginning to shift toward another company in Google’s investment portfolio. The technology giant reportedly owns an estimated 14% stake in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. Anthropic recently submitted a confidential draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Market participants widely expect the company to pursue a public listing later this year.
A successful debut could create another major windfall for Google. Nevertheless, SpaceX currently stands as the company’s most valuable private investment success. In conclusion, SpaceX’s Nasdaq debut has transformed Google’s long-term investment into a holding valued at more than $100 billion, highlighting the scale of returns generated by one of Silicon Valley’s most successful strategic bets.
