  • Several of SpaceX's biggest investors have made themselves known.
  • The biggest backers of Elon Musk's company include Alphabet, Nvidia, and Saudi Arabia.
  • Companies tied to Peter Thiel and Ron Baron are also on the list.

Some of SpaceX's biggest shareholders have officially revealed themselves.

Elon Musk's maker of satellites and rockets disclosed its shareholders with at least a 5% stake ahead of its blockbuster IPO in June. But stockholders below that threshold weren't identified.

However, second-quarter portfolio filings have shed light on several previously unknown investors in the $2 trillion company.

Here are 10 of the largest shareholders of SpaceX as of June 30, based on a Business Insider analysis of regulatory disclosures:

No surprises here. Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, owns roughly 6.42 billion shares, or about 49% of the company.

Massive stakes in SpaceX and Tesla have made Musk by far the world's wealthiest person. His net worth stood at $860 billion at Wednesday's close, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Alphabet

Alphabet — the parent company of Google, Waymo, YouTube, and Android — owns around 551 million shares. The roughly 4.2% stake was worth $94 billion at the end of June.

The tech titan bet $900 million on SpaceX back in 2015, meaning it's likely made a huge return on its investment.

Valor Equity Partners

Valor Equity Partners, a private equity and venture capital firm, reported 503.4 million shares for a 3.8% stake in SpaceX. That position was worth $86 billion on June 30.

Valor is run by Antonio Gracias, a trusted Musk ally for the past 25 years.

"Antonio's ownership stems from absolute support, even when it looked like SpaceX would fail, and many investments over 2 decades," Musk posted on X in June. "One could not ask for a better friend."

Peter Thiel
