Alphabet's Stake in SpaceX Valued at $94.1 Billion as of Q2
In 2015, Alphabet invested approximately $1 billion in SpaceX and currently holds a stake valued at around $94.1 billion based on its second-quarter earnings report from July 28, 2026. This represents an impressive capital gain for the tech giant as it owns about 4.2% of the rocket company's shares. Alphabet faces some restrictions regarding selling these shares due to lockup agreements; $80 billion worth are under short-term constraints while another $14.1 billion cannot be sold until at least 2027. Despite recent declines in SpaceX’s stock price, Alphabet still holds a stake valued around $65.6 billion. Alphabet may consider liquidating its shares to fund its AI initiatives and capital expenditures expected to reach about $200 billion this year with further increases anticipated by 2027. Alternatively, maintaining the investment could serve strategic purposes through increased collaboration between Alphabet and SpaceX.
