  "account": "The ownership of SpaceX (SPCX) has become more transparent, coinciding with a surge in the company's stock price. As of Monday, over 1,500 investors had disclosed their stakes, but just 23 accounted for more than 80% of the reported shares. This concentration is even more pronounced at the lower end, where nearly 1,340 investors held positions with fewer than 100,000 shares, collectively owning less than 1% of the total shares.\n\nThis data provides the first comprehensive view of SpaceX's ownership since the company went public on June 12. Major investment managers, who are required to report their US stock holdings quarterly, have disclosed significant positions. Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) and Fidelity reported the largest stakes, with over 551 million and 302 million shares respectively. Other notable investors include Gigafund, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and Nvidia (NVDA), each disclosing more than 100 million shares.\n\nA surprising addition to the list is Harvard Management Co., which owns nearly 13 million SpaceX shares, making it the largest individual stock position in Harvard's publicly disclosed US equity portfolio. This comes as the stakes of long-term private investors are now visible for the first time since SpaceX began trading on an exchange. The restrictions on early shareholders' ability to sell their stock are expiring in stages, gradually increasing the number of shares that can be sold. Roughly 912 million shares became eligible earlier this month, with additional batches becoming available every few weeks leading into the fall.\n\nThe increased availability of shares has already impacted SpaceX's stock price. After a 40% rebound following the initial release, the stock has climbed back toward $150, its price at the company's first public trade on June 12 and a key technical hurdle on its path. Large investment firms like Baillie Gifford, which owns over 51 million shares, continue to hold SpaceX shares, viewing the company as a long-term growth investment.",
