这场破纪录的 SpaceX 首次公开募股（IPO）吸引了英国散户投资者前所未有的需求，超过 100,000 名申请人认购了近 10 亿美元（$1,000,000,000）的股份，约占其总申请额的 38%。这一配售比例显著超过了 20% 至 25% 的全球散户平均配售率。该申购经由 Hargreaves Lansdown 和 AJ Bell 等平台进行，其中 AJ Bell 收到的申购申请数量是过去十年中任何其他 IPO 的五倍以上。英国散户投资者最终获得了价值 3.64 亿美元（$364,000,000）的股份，相当于以每股 135 美元的价格配售了约 270 万（2,700,000）股。
在新实施的金融行为监管局规则下，公司得以在无需发布招股说明书的情况下向所有投资者销售股票，从而使 61% 的申请人获得了其申请的全部配额。个人配售设有上限以确保公平性，其中申请金额高达 2,700 美元（$2,700）的投资者获得了全部股份，而较大的申请额则被缩减，每位个人投资者最多配售 1,000 股（价值高达 $135,000）。在全球范围内，SpaceX 寻求以 1.78 兆美元（$1,780,000,000,000）的估值募集高达 860 亿美元（$86,000,000,000）的资金，吸引了超过申购额三倍以上的总订单。
公司创办人 Elon Musk 旨在将 25% 的 SpaceX 股份保留给个人散户投资者，这一比例显著高于传统大型 IPO 中通常分配给散户的 5% 至 10%。在股票上市的同时，Leverage Shares 于周五在伦敦证券交易所上市了一款新的交易所交易产品（ETP），该产品将提供 SpaceX 股价每日变动三倍的回报。美元份额类别代号为 ELON，英镑版本代号为 MUSK，尽管该杠杆基金在进行主动曝险前最初仅持有现金。
The record-breaking SpaceX IPO attracted unprecedented demand from UK retail investors, with over 100,000 applicants requesting nearly $1 billion ($1,000,000,000) in shares, representing about 38 percent of their total requests. This allocation significantly surpassed the global retail average of 20 to 25 percent. The offering, channelled through platforms like Hargreaves Lansdown and AJ Bell, saw AJ Bell receive over five times the applications of any IPO in the past decade. UK retail investors were ultimately allocated $364 million ($364,000,000) worth of shares, translating to approximately 2.7 million (2,700,000) shares priced at $135 each.
Under the new Financial Conduct Authority rules allowing sales without a prospectus, 61 percent of applicants received their full requested allocation. Individual allocations were capped to ensure fairness, where applicants requesting up to $2,700 ($2,700) received full shares, while larger requests were scaled back up to a maximum of 1,000 shares (valued at up to $135,000). Globally, SpaceX sought to raise up to $86 billion ($86,000,000,000) at a valuation of $1.78 trillion ($1,780,000,000,000), drawing total orders that exceeded the offered amount by more than three times.
Company founder Elon Musk aimed to allocate 25 percent of SpaceX shares to individual retail investors, a proportion significantly higher than the typical 5 to 10 percent seen in traditional large IPOs. In tandem with the flotation, Leverage Shares listed a new exchange-traded product (ETP) on the London Stock Exchange, returning three times the daily performance of SpaceX stock. The dollar class is ticketed as ELON and the sterling class as MUSK, although the leveraged fund initially holds only cash prior to active exposure.
