Alphabet disclosed in its earnings report that it had roughly $94.1 billion worth of SpaceX stock at the end of the second quarter. <\/p>\n

Tesla reported it held about $3 billion worth of SpaceX shares; Nvidia and Cisco are also likely shareholders. <\/p>\n

SpaceX’s list of shareholders includes a who’s who of big tech companies. <\/p>\n

Google parent company Alphabet (GOOG) disclosed that it had a SpaceX (SPCX) stake worth about $94.1 billion as of the end of June, according to its second-quarter earnings report<\/a>. Based on SpaceX’s market cap at the end of the second quarter, or $2.2 trillion, Alphabet’s investment represents about 4%. <\/p>\n

Tesla (TSLA) also disclosed a stake in SpaceX, albeit a more modest one worth $3 billion, per its second-quarter earnings report<\/a>. Nvidia (NVDA) and Cisco (CSCO), are also likely shareholders given their early investment in xAI, which merged with SpaceX<\/a> in February. <\/p>\n

Why This Matters to You <\/p>\n

Ordinary investors likely have a position in SpaceX in their retirement portfolios because the stock was added to major indexes and the funds that track them. <\/p>\n

Alphabet disclosed that it had two tranches of SpaceX shares, with $80 billion worth subject to “short-term restrictions on the ability to sell,” according to the company. The rest, or some $14.1 billion is restricted for trading through the end of September 2027, filings show.<\/p>\n

The tech companies’ respective stakes in SpaceX are likely a touch lighter given the stock’s recent decline. Shares closed Thursday at around $118, almost 13% below its IPO price of $135\u2014a boon for some investors who bet that the stock would decline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early investor status, however, does put the spotlight on the coming wave of lock-up expirations that could free them up to trade their shares. The first of a series of staggered releases is set to occur on August 6, two days after SpaceX reports earnings for the first time as a public company. <\/p>\n
