Fidelity Investments has lowered the minimum investment in SpaceX for retail investors to $2,000, making it easier for individuals to own a stake in the private space company. The move, reported by multiple financial outlets, allows Fidelity customers to buy shares through the firm's brokerage platform.
However, the fine print of the investment includes a clause that could ban investors from participating in future initial public offerings (IPOs) if they sell their SpaceX shares within a certain period. This restriction is designed to discourage short-term trading and maintain stability in the private market.
SpaceX, valued at around $180 billion as of late 2025, remains one of the most sought-after private companies. Fidelity's reduced minimum aims to democratize access, but investors should carefully review the terms before committing.
