After SpaceX listed under the ticker SPCX, the most important issue for investors is not a single “lock-up expiration date,” but the pace at which multiple batches of shares may become eligible for trading from 2026 to 2027. According to the SEC 424(b)(4) prospectus and subsequent 8-K disclosures, the base IPO offering, underwriters’ greenshoe option, post-earnings release windows, price-trigger conditions, affiliate restrictions, and Musk’s share lock-up together determine SPCX’s potential float changes. Lock-up expiration does not mean immediate selling, but it can reshape market expectations around future supply. This schedule is useful for building a risk calendar, monitoring disclosure events, and reviewing trading costs.

The SPCX lock-up schedule should first be read by separating three data layers: the base offering size, the post-greenshoe offering size, and the shares potentially subject to lock-up release. The base offering comes from the final prospectus, while whether the greenshoe is included in the completed IPO size depends on whether the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares. The percentages in the lock-up schedule are generally calculated against the 13.0759B basic share-count base. They are useful for observing potential supply timing, but they should not be treated as the fully diluted share count, real-time public float, or actual selling volume. For ordinary investors, the key is to distinguish among “issued,” “tradable,” “eligible for sale,” and “actually sold.”
According to Reuters’ report on SpaceX’s IPO pricing, SpaceX issued about 555.56 million shares at $135 per share, raising $75 billion and implying an IPO valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion. This corresponds to the IPO base offering of 555.6 million shares in the lock-up schedule, or about 4.25% of the 13.0759B basic share-count base. IPOs also commonly include an over-allotment option, often referred to as a greenshoe. In early estimates, the additional 83.3 million shares under the greenshoe could be treated as an additional scenario. SpaceX later disclosed in its June 15 8-K that the IPO ultimately closed with 638,888,888 shares of Class A common stock at $135 per share, including the underwriters’ full exercise of the option to purchase 83,333,333 additional shares.
| Data Item | Figure | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| IPO base offering | 555.6 million shares | Initial public offering size |
| IPO price | $135 per share | Basis for calculating the later $175.50 trigger level |
| Basic share-count base | 13.0759B shares | Used to estimate lock-up release percentages |
| Greenshoe increment | 83.3 million shares | Later 8-K disclosed full exercise |
| Total IPO shares after greenshoe | 638.9 million shares | Completed IPO size increased to 638,888,888 shares |
| 424B4 registration number | 333-296070 | Key identifier for finding the SEC filing |
Another point that can be easily confused is timing. The lock-up schedule contains two types of dates. The first type is fixed-day milestones, such as 70 days, 90 days, 105 days, 120 days, 135 days, 280 days, 340 days, and 366 days. The second type is a floating date tied to company disclosure, such as “two trading days after the earnings release.” If a fixed calendar date falls on a weekend, the relevant trading-day reference generally shifts to the next trading day. However, this is only a trading-day reminder and does not mean the company, insiders, or shareholders will necessarily sell on that date. SpaceX also disclosed in its 8-K that future material information and financial results will be released primarily through its investor relations channel, its X account, and any necessary SEC filings. Subsequent updates should therefore be verified through SEC filings and official company disclosures.
Summary: The SPCX lock-up schedule should not be read by looking only at how many shares are released on a single date. The data basis must be clarified first. The 555.6 million-share base offering is the core starting point for the initial public offering, while the 83.3 million-share greenshoe was initially an additional scenario. The June 15 8-K later disclosed that the underwriters fully exercised the additional purchase option, bringing the completed IPO size to 638,888,888 shares. The 13.0759B share count is the denominator used to calculate lock-up release percentages and should not be confused with the real-time fully diluted share count. Fixed dates, weekend adjustments, post-earnings windows, and actual sale activity should also be kept separate. Investors can use the lock-up schedule as a supply-risk calendar, but final trading decisions should still be based on SEC filings, company disclosures, trading volume, order execution, and personal risk tolerance.

SPCX’s lock-up structure is not a traditional “one-time release 180 days after listing.” A more accurate description is that IPO shares enter the market first, the 180-day group is then released in stages based on earnings windows, price conditions, and fixed-day milestones, the extended group runs into 2027, and Elon Musk’s large share block is subject to a longer lock-up arrangement. Reuters Breakingviews described SpaceX’s layered lock-up structure as turning a single large wave into multiple release events; the purpose of tiered lockups is to spread potential supply, but it does not eliminate volatility.

| 17 | 2027-06-12 | Around 2027-06-14 | Elon Musk | 6.400 billion | 48.95% | Includes Class B conversion and shares underlying 350M options; lock-up expiration does not equal selling |
| 18 | Two trading days after Q2’27 earnings release | TBD | Remaining extended group | 351.9 million | 2.69% | Tail release of the longer lock-up group |
SPCX’s lock-up schedule can be understood in five stages.
The first stage is the entry of IPO shares into the public float. On June 12, 2026, SPCX completed its IPO listing, with settlement around June 15, 2026. The base IPO offering size was 555.6 million shares, representing about 4.25% of the 13.0759B basic share-count base. These shares were allocated to IPO investors and became tradable after listing and settlement. Including the additional 83.3 million shares from the underwriters’ full exercise of the greenshoe, the completed IPO size was about 638.9 million shares. This stage represents newly issued shares entering the public market and is different from later releases of legacy shareholder or insider shares.
The second stage is the first major post-Q2’26 earnings release window. On the second trading day after the Q2’26 earnings release, shares held by non-affiliates in the 180-day group enter the first post-earnings release window. The size of this release is 911.5 million shares, equal to about 6.97% of the basic share-count base. The exact date depends on when the company discloses its Q2 earnings and therefore should not be treated as a fixed calendar date. At the same time, there is an additional price-trigger condition. If SPCX satisfies the requirement that its closing price reaches or exceeds $175.50 on at least five trading days within a 10-trading-day observation period, another 455.8 million shares held by non-affiliates in the same 180-day group may become eligible for earlier release, equal to about 3.49% of the basic share-count base. If this price condition is not triggered, those shares will not be released early after Q2 earnings and will instead be delayed until December 8, 2026, increasing the size of the year-end tail release.
The third stage is concentrated between August and December 2026, the densest release period for the 180-day lock-up group. On August 20, 2026, the 70-day fixed milestone releases 319.0 million shares, representing about 2.44% of the basic share-count base. On September 9, 2026, the 90-day fixed milestone releases another 319.0 million shares, also about 2.44%. Immediately afterward, on September 10, 2026, a batch of affiliate shares becomes eligible for sale, with 59.1 million shares, or about 0.45% of the basic share-count base. Although this batch is relatively small, affiliate shares still require attention because they may be subject to Rule 144, company trading windows, disclosure obligations, and other restrictions.
The 180-day lock-up group then continues to be released through fixed milestones. September 24, 2026 is the 105-day milestone, with 328.4 million shares released, equal to about 2.51% of the basic share-count base. October 9, 2026 is the 120-day milestone, with another 328.4 million shares, also about 2.51%. October 24, 2026 is the 135-day milestone and also corresponds to a 328.4 million-share release. Because October 24, 2026 falls on a Saturday, the practical trading-day reference can be understood as around October 26, 2026. This is only a trading-day adjustment and does not mean selling will necessarily occur on that day.
The fourth stage is the largest 180-day group window after Q3’26 earnings. On the second trading day after the Q3’26 earnings release, the 180-day lock-up group is expected to release 1.300 billion shares, or about 9.94% of the basic share-count base. This is the largest single post-earnings release window in the 2026 schedule. After that, there is another remaining 180-day group release on December 8, 2026. Under the base case, this release is 328.4 million shares, equal to about 2.51% of the basic share-count base. If the Q2 post-earnings price condition is not triggered, the year-end tail release may expand to 797.6 million shares, or about 6.10% of the basic share-count base. The real pressure around December 8, 2026 therefore needs to be evaluated together with whether the Q2 price condition has been met.
The fifth stage begins in 2027, when the focus shifts to the extended group and Elon Musk’s lock-up period. Shares in the extended group held by non-Musk shareholders are not released all at once, but instead across multiple post-earnings windows and fixed dates. On the second trading day after the Q4’26 earnings release, 351.9 million non-Musk extended-group shares are released, or about 2.69% of the basic share-count base. The 280-day fixed milestone on March 18, 2027 releases 176.0 million shares, or about 1.35%. On the second trading day after the Q1’27 earnings release, another 351.9 million shares are released, again about 2.69%. The 340-day milestone on May 17, 2027 releases 176.0 million shares, or about 1.35%. The 366-day milestone on June 12, 2027 releases 351.9 million shares, or about 2.69%. Because June 12, 2027 falls on a Saturday, the practical trading-day reference can be understood as around June 14, 2027.
Around June 12, 2027, Elon Musk’s related shares also enter an important observation window. Based on the lock-up schedule framework, Musk is associated with 6.400 billion shares, representing about 48.95% of the basic share-count base, including Class B conversion and shares underlying 350 million options. Because this block is extremely large, the market should not focus only on the lock-up expiration itself. Investors should continue to watch for any trading plan, Form 144, Form 4, company trading-window arrangement, pledge-related disclosure, or other material filing. Lock-up expiration only means that sale restrictions may change. It does not mean Musk will necessarily sell immediately, nor does it mean all related shares will enter the secondary market on the same day.
Finally, on the second trading day after the Q2’27 earnings release, the remaining extended-group shares are scheduled for another release of 351.9 million shares, or about 2.69% of the basic share-count base. This can be viewed as the tail release of the longer lock-up group.
Overall, SPCX’s lock-up arrangement is not a single 180-day cliff. It begins with IPO shares entering the public float in June 2026, then moves through the Q2 earnings trigger, 70- to 180-day fixed milestones, the large Q3 earnings window, the year-end tail release in 2026, and then extends into the 2027 extended group and Musk’s large lock-up. For investors, these dates are better treated as a potential supply calendar rather than direct price prediction signals. The actual market impact of each release depends on the company’s earnings release dates, whether the stock triggers the $175.50 condition, actual trading volume, affiliate disclosures, Rule 144 restrictions, and overall market liquidity.
The most important point in this schedule is that three types of events can look similar but mean different things. The first type is issued and tradable IPO shares, which enter the public market after listing and settlement. The second type is lock-up release, which means the relevant shares gradually become eligible for sale. The third type is shares that may be sold subject to regulatory, disclosure, and company-policy restrictions, especially affiliate shares.
The SEC’s explanation of Rule 144 makes clear that public resale of restricted securities and control securities must satisfy several conditions, including holding period, manner of sale, volume limitations, and current public information. In other words, the lock-up schedule can tell investors when potential supply may appear, but it cannot tell investors how much actual trading volume will occur.
Summary: SPCX’s 2026–2027 lock-up schedule is a multi-stage calendar rather than a single event. IPO shares provide the initial float in June 2026. From August to December, the 180-day group has multiple fixed milestones and post-earnings windows. In 2027, the focus shifts to the extended group and Musk’s lock-up. “TBD” post-earnings dates should not be treated as fixed calendar dates. “Around October 26, 2026” and “around June 14, 2027” are only trading-day references after weekend dates and do not mean selling will necessarily occur on those days.
Ordinary investors should read this schedule as a potential supply map and combine it with trading volume, earnings disclosures, Form 144, Form 4, and company trading windows, instead of treating any single lock-up date as a mechanical price signal.

The first SPCX event that truly requires dynamic monitoring is the second trading day after Q2’26 earnings and the $175.50 price-trigger condition. The reason is simple: this window may determine whether 455.8 million shares are released early. If the stock satisfies the condition that its closing price is at least $175.50 on five out of 10 trading days, part of the non-affiliate shares in the 180-day group may become eligible for earlier sale. If the condition is not triggered, this potential supply may be delayed, increasing the size of the December 8, 2026 tail release. The $175.50 level is not a target price or a buy recommendation. It is simply the trigger threshold calculated by applying a 30% premium to the $135 IPO price.
The calculation is straightforward: 135 × 130% = 175.50. In the lock-up schedule, this price serves only as a condition-testing level. It should not be interpreted as an analyst target price, fair value estimate, or upside projection. In the early stage after listing, SPCX’s price may be affected by IPO allocation structure, index-inclusion expectations, options activity, news catalysts, and limited float. Reuters noted in its report on the first day of SPCX options trading that options activity was very active after SpaceX’s listing, and strong demand for options may increase short-term volatility. The closer the stock trades to or above the trigger level, the more investors need to reassess the supply path in the lock-up schedule.
| Assessment Item | Trigger Condition | Impact on Lock-Up Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Q2 earnings date | Confirmed after company disclosure | Determines the exact “two trading days after earnings” date |
| Base earnings window | Two trading days after Q2’26 earnings | 911.5 million shares enter a potential release window |
| Price trigger | Closing price ≥ $175.50 on 5 out of 10 trading days | 455.8 million shares may be released early |
| If not triggered | Closing-price condition not satisfied | Release in row 3 delayed to 2026-12-08 |
| Common misconception | Treating $175.50 as a target price | It should be understood as a condition threshold, not an investment view |
This event also affects risk assessment. Investors should not simply interpret “the stock rising above $175.50” as bearish, nor should they interpret “no trigger” as the absence of risk. A more accurate view is that the price condition may change the timetable for potential supply entering the market, but the final price outcome will still depend on demand, liquidity, financial results, valuation expectations, market risk appetite, and actual large-shareholder trading arrangements. Ordinary investors can add the Q2 earnings date, the second trading day after earnings, and the $175.50 closing-price verification window to their monitoring checklist, while also reviewing later SEC filings, company announcements, and trading volume.
If you are watching trading opportunities in hot IPO names such as SPCX, the price-trigger condition is not the only issue to review. Actual trading costs also matter. U.S. stock trading costs usually include more than commissions and may also involve platform fees, external agency fees, trading activity fees, order-type differences, and pre-market or after-hours restrictions. Biya states that its U.S. stock trading commission is $0, while platform fees, external agency fees, and other charges should be checked against U.S. stock trading fees and the order page. Hot IPO stocks may experience significant price volatility in the early listing stage. Before trading, investors should fully understand order types, fee structures, and risks.
Summary: Q2 earnings and the $175.50 trigger level matter because they may change the early release timing for the 180-day group. The 911.5 million-share post-earnings window is already large. If another 455.8 million shares are released early due to the price trigger, short-term supply expectations may shift meaningfully. But the trigger level is not a target price or a return forecast; it is a mechanical threshold in the lock-up conditions. Investors should focus on the earnings release date, the second trading day after earnings, consecutive closing-price performance, and subsequent disclosures, instead of using a single price line to predict direction. Any trading decision should also consider valuation, volume, fees, execution, and personal risk tolerance.
The defining feature of SPCX in the second half of 2026 is that the 180-day group is split across multiple fixed dates and earnings-related milestones. The 70-day, 90-day, 105-day, 120-day, 135-day, post-Q3 earnings window, and December 8 tail release appear in sequence. This means potential supply is not concentrated into a single day, but instead enters eligibility over several months. Such a structure may reduce one-day concentration risk, but it also means investors need to monitor supply changes over a longer period rather than focusing only on the traditional 180-day lock-up expiration date.
The August-to-December 2026 period can be divided into three sections. The first section includes the 70-day and 90-day milestones, each releasing 319.0 million shares, or 2.44% of the basic share-count base. The second section includes the 105-day, 120-day, and 135-day milestones, each releasing 328.4 million shares, or 2.51% of the basic share-count base. The third section is the post-Q3’26 earnings window, two trading days after the earnings release, with 1.300 billion shares, or 9.94% of the basic share-count base. This is the largest 180-day group post-earnings window. If the Q2 price condition is not triggered, the December 8, 2026 tail release may increase from 328.4 million shares to 797.6 million shares, raising the percentage from 2.51% to 6.10%.
| Period | Main Milestone | Release Size | What to Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Late August | 2026-08-20 | 319.0 million | 70-day fixed milestone |
| Early September | 2026-09-09 | 319.0 million | 90-day fixed milestone |
| Mid-September | 2026-09-10 | 59.1 million | Affiliates, subject to Rule 144 |
| Late September to October | 105 / 120 / 135-day milestones | 328.4 million each | Consecutive fixed releases |
| After Q3 earnings | Two trading days after Q3’26 earnings | 1.300 billion | Largest 180-day group window |
| December 8 | Tail release | 328.4 million / 797.6 million | Depends on whether the Q2 price condition is triggered |
Affiliate shares need to be evaluated separately. Row 6 contains only 59.1 million shares, or 0.45% of the basic share-count base, and may look small. However, affiliates are subject to more disclosure and compliance constraints than non-affiliates. The SEC’s Form 144 is the notice of proposed sale of securities under Rule 144 and may include information such as the class of securities to be sold, broker, number of shares, aggregate market value, approximate date of sale, and exchange. For directors, officers, or holders of more than 10%, the SEC’s explanation of Section 16 reporting also notes that relevant insiders generally need to disclose changes in beneficial ownership through Forms 3, 4, or 5. Therefore, affiliate releases should not be ranked only by share size. Investors should also watch for Form 144, Form 4, 10b5-1 trading plans, company trading windows, and other restrictions.
A staged release schedule also does not mean risk disappears. Staging may reduce a single-day shock, but it can extend supply pressure over a longer period. If the stock rises sharply in the early listing stage, the float is limited, options activity is strong, and index-inclusion demand is traded in advance, volume changes around each release date may be amplified. Conversely, if fundamentals, market demand, and long-term investor support are strong, lock-up expiration does not necessarily lead to a price decline. A more practical approach is to build a date list and evaluate each milestone alongside trading volume, turnover, block trades, company disclosures, and price ranges.
Summary: The second half of 2026 is the densest period in the SPCX lock-up calendar. The 70-day, 90-day, 105-day, 120-day, and 135-day milestones create a continuous supply sequence, while the 1.300 billion-share post-Q3 earnings window is the largest release in the 180-day group. If the Q2 price condition is not triggered, the December 8, 2026 tail release may become larger. For ordinary investors, the right approach is not to guess that a particular date will necessarily cause a decline. Instead, they should know which dates may change the number of shares eligible for trading and prepare for risk by reviewing SEC filings, company disclosures, trading volume, transaction costs, and position sizing.
In 2027, the focus shifts from the 180-day group to the extended group and Elon Musk’s lock-up period. Non-Musk shares in the extended group are distributed across post-Q4’26, post-Q1’27, and post-Q2’27 earnings windows, as well as 280-day, 340-day, and 366-day fixed milestones. Musk-related shares total 6.400 billion shares, or about 48.95% of the basic share-count base, corresponding to a longer lock-up arrangement around June 2027. Lock-up expiration only means sale restrictions may change. It does not mean Musk will immediately sell, nor does it mean 6.4 billion shares will enter the market on the same day.
The defining feature of the extended group is that no single batch is as large as the largest 180-day group window, but the release period lasts longer. The post-Q4’26, post-Q1’27, and post-Q2’27 earnings windows each involve 351.9 million shares. The 280-day and 340-day fixed milestones each involve 176.0 million shares. Another 351.9 million shares are tied to June 12, 2027. Since June 12, 2027 falls on a Saturday, the trading-day reference can be written as around June 14, 2027, but this is only a trading-day reference, not a sale commitment.
| Milestone | Shareholder Group | Shares Released | % of Basic Share Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two trading days after Q4’26 earnings | Extended group, non-Musk | 351.9 million | 2.69% | First batch of the longer lock-up group |
| 2027-03-18 | Extended group, non-Musk | 176.0 million | 1.35% | 280-day fixed milestone |
| Two trading days after Q1’27 earnings | Extended group, non-Musk | 351.9 million | 2.69% | Second post-earnings window |
| 2027-05-17 | Extended group, non-Musk | 176.0 million | 1.35% | 340-day fixed milestone |
| 2027-06-12 / around 06-14 | Extended group, non-Musk | 351.9 million | 2.69% | 366-day milestone |
| Two trading days after Q2’27 earnings | Remaining extended group | 351.9 million | 2.69% | Tail release |
Musk’s holdings must be discussed separately because both their size and governance implications are different. Based on the lock-up schedule framework, Elon Musk is associated with 6.400 billion shares, or 48.95% of the basic share-count base, including Class B conversion and shares underlying 350 million options. Reuters noted in its IPO pricing report that Musk retained significant voting power after the listing, and Musk voting power affects both corporate governance and market expectations. For ordinary investors, the key question after Musk’s lock-up period ends is not simply whether he can sell immediately. The more important issue is whether there are later trading plans, Form 144 filings, Form 4 filings, company trading-window arrangements, pledges, or other material disclosures. Without these follow-up signals, lock-up expiration alone cannot support the conclusion that selling will actually occur.
Large-shareholder lock-ups are also different from ordinary float changes. Ordinary float affects short-term trading availability more directly. Large-shareholder stakes also affect control, market sentiment, governance structure, and long-term supply expectations. Even after a lock-up period ends, a large holder may continue to hold, sell in stages, or pursue other arrangements based on tax considerations, control, financing needs, trading plans, market windows, or company strategy. Claims that “the stock will be dumped as soon as the lock-up ends” are overly absolute and do not reflect how securities markets actually operate.
Summary: SPCX’s 2027 lock-up focus is not IPO shares, but the extended group and Musk’s holdings. The extended group is spread across a longer period, alternating between post-earnings windows and fixed-day milestones. Musk-related shares amount to 6.400 billion, an extremely large block, but lock-up expiration does not equal immediate selling. Around June 2027, the market may reassess SpaceX’s potential supply, governance structure, and large-shareholder trading arrangements. Investors should watch SEC filings, Form 144, Form 4, company announcements, and trading plans instead of treating a single date as a certainty of selling pressure.
The SPCX lock-up schedule is best used as a potential supply calendar, not as a price prediction table. Ordinary investors can use it to answer three questions: which dates may add shares eligible for trading, which milestones depend on earnings releases or price conditions, and which shares involve affiliate or large-shareholder disclosure obligations. Actual trading decisions should also consider liquidity, volume, valuation, earnings, order types, trading fees, and applicable rules in the investor’s location. Lock-up information can support risk management, but it does not replace fundamental analysis.
A practical monitoring checklist includes:
| Monitoring Area | What to Check | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| SEC filings | 424B4, 8-K, Form 144, Form 4 | Verify offering size, greenshoe, insider trading, and proposed-sale disclosures |
| Company disclosures | Earnings release dates, investor relations updates, X account | Confirm post-earnings +2 trading-day milestones |
| Market data | Trading volume, turnover, pre-market and after-hours quotes | Assess liquidity changes around lock-up dates |
| Price condition | Whether the $175.50 trigger is met | Determine whether the Q2 conditional release occurs early |
| Trading rules | Order types, fractional shares, margin, pre-market and after-hours trading | Avoid execution errors caused by unfamiliar rules |
| Cost structure | Commission, platform fees, external agency fees, taxes | Estimate actual trading costs |
Investors should also distinguish between IPO allocation and secondary-market trading. Reuters reported on SpaceX IPO flipping restrictions that some platforms may impose restrictions or penalties on retail investors who sell IPO allocations too quickly. However, buying and selling SPCX in the Nasdaq secondary market is not necessarily the same as selling IPO-allocated shares subject to flipping restrictions. Ordinary investors need to distinguish whether they are participating in the IPO allocation or trading on the secondary market. In the latter case, the focus should shift to whether the broker supports the stock, order execution, pre-market and after-hours access, trading costs, and local compliance requirements.
From a tool perspective, if the investor’s location, identity verification result, platform rules, and applicable laws and regulations permit, Biya Web Trading can be used as a multi-asset trading entry point to follow order flows and fee displays across U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets. The U.S. stock screener can also be used for basic ticker lookup. Biya is a global multi-asset trading wallet that supports U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital asset trading, as well as USDT conversion into major fiat currencies such as USD or HKD. However, service availability depends on the user’s location, identity verification outcome, platform rules, and applicable laws and regulations. For hot IPO names such as SPCX, investors should be especially careful not to interpret “zero commission” as “zero cost.” Biya states that U.S. stock trading commission is $0, while platform fees, external agency fees, and other charges are subject to the fee schedule and the order page.
Summary: The correct way to use the SPCX lock-up schedule is to build a risk calendar in advance, not to replace trading judgment. Investors should evaluate the 2026–2027 key dates, post-earnings windows, the $175.50 trigger condition, Rule 144, Form 144, Form 4, and trading volume together. Before trading, they should also verify whether the platform supports SPCX, whether the available order types are appropriate, whether pre-market and after-hours trading are supported, how fractional-share and margin rules work, and whether fee details are clear. Once public information, fee structure, and personal suitability have been checked, investors can make decisions based on their own risk tolerance. Any discussion of SpaceX / SPCX lock-up releases, fees, or platform functions does not constitute investment advice and does not replace local regulatory, tax, or account-eligibility requirements.
If you are following SpaceX / SPCX after its listing, the lock-up calendar is only one part of the process. Market tracking, order execution, and fee review should also be integrated into the same workflow. Biya can be considered as one tool option for multi-market trading scenarios involving U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and digital assets. It can be used to check tickers, compare trading costs, and manage order workflows. For U.S. stock trading, investors should review commissions, platform fees, external agency fees, fractional-share rules, pre-market and after-hours availability, and fees shown on the order page. Biya states that U.S. stock trading commission is $0, while platform fees, external agency fees, and other charges remain subject to the fee schedule and order page. If the relevant services are available in your region and you meet the applicable conditions, you can learn more through Biya. The information above only discusses publicly available market information, trading rules, and fee structures. It does not constitute investment advice.
No. An SPCX lock-up expiration date usually means the relevant shares become eligible for sale or transfer, but actual selling still depends on company trading windows, Rule 144, Form 144, Form 4, tax arrangements, market price, and shareholder decisions. Investors should treat a lock-up date as a potential supply-change event, not as confirmed trading activity.
A greenshoe exercise increases the number of IPO shares entering the market. SpaceX’s later 8-K disclosed that the underwriters fully exercised the option to purchase 83,333,333 additional shares, bringing the total IPO issuance to 638,888,888 shares. Final calculations should rely on SEC filings and company disclosures.
The $175.50 level is a price-condition threshold calculated by applying a 30% premium to the $135 IPO price. It is not a target price or a buy recommendation. If the stock closes at or above that level on five out of 10 trading days within the specified window, some shares may be released early; otherwise, the release may be delayed.
Ordinary investors can track SEC filings, company earnings dates, trading volume, turnover, Form 144, Form 4, whether the $175.50 trigger condition is met, and broker fee and order rules. Lock-up risk should be assessed together with valuation, earnings, market liquidity, and personal risk tolerance.
Lock-up expiration does not mean immediate selling. Based on the lock-up schedule framework, Musk-related shares enter an important observation window around June 2027, but actual trading may still depend on trading plans, company policies, securities laws, disclosure obligations, and market windows. It should not be treated as certain selling pressure.
Before trading SPCX, investors should check whether their broker supports the stock, available order types, pre-market and after-hours trading, margin rules, fractional-share rules, commissions, platform fees, external agency fees, and tax treatment. Fees and functions differ across platforms, so actual costs should follow the platform’s fee schedule, order confirmation page, and local regulatory requirements.
