Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF Acquires $3.2 Billion in SpaceX Shares
The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) has acquired 18,738,438 shares of SpaceX stock worth approximately $3.2 billion as of June 30. This represents about 3.4% of the total float from SpaceX's IPO and highlights how quickly large ETFs can accumulate positions in newly public companies. While VTI holds a relatively small weight (0.14%) compared to its overall portfolio, other Vanguard ETFs focused on communication services or growth stocks have higher exposure to SpaceX. For example, the Vanguard Communication Services ETF already includes 2.4% of SpaceX stock due to its sector-specific focus. The broader S&P 500-based ETF will not include SpaceX until at least June 2027. Investors can choose ETFs that align with their interest in companies like SpaceX by selecting those based on specific criteria, such as communication services or growth stocks, while avoiding others if they wish to limit exposure.
