Jeff Bezos says Blue Origin likely to pursue IPO in coming years

Blue Origin is likely to pursue an initial public offering in the coming years, according to billionaire founder Jeff Bezos. The space company recently raised $10 billion from outside investors for the first time in a funding round.

Bezos stated that an IPO would be "several years from now" but that it "probably makes sense for Blue Origin to be a public company at some point." He made these remarks on FOX News Channel’s Special Report with Bret Baier.

Bezos has personally invested $28 billion in Blue Origin since its establishment in 2000. The company's recent funding round valued it at $140 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
