Aktien: Wert der Alphabet-Beteiligung an SpaceX hat sich mehr als verhundertfacht

Düsseldorf - An early investment by Alphabet, the parent company of Google, in space exploration firm SpaceX has more than quintupled in value, according to a recent disclosure. The investment, made by the end of June, was worth approximately $94 billion, compared to an initial $900 million in 2015 from Alphabet. This makes Alphabet the largest institutional shareholder of SpaceX following its stock market debut in June.

Alphabet's stake in the company was disclosed after SpaceX went public on June 12. Other early investors, such as Fidelity Investments, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, and Gina Rinehart's holding company, Hancock Prospecting, also reported their shares. SpaceX reported that CEO Elon Musk holds 48.4% of the shares. SpaceX shares were priced at $135, and closed at $141.29 on Thursday.

However, the valuation of Alphabet's stake is based on the higher closing price of $170.86 at the end of June.
