Nvidia now holds $21 billion in SpaceX stock, its second-largest investment. See the latest 13F filing details and the risks facing the AI-focused portfolio.
Nvidia’s latest 13F filing reveals a $21 billion stake in SpaceX, marking the aerospace firm as the chipmaker’s second-largest public investment behind Intel [1]. This disclosure highlights a significant shift in the portfolio strategy of the world’s largest publicly traded company, as it navigates the volatile capital requirements of the artificial intelligence sector [1].

Nvidia’s investment in SpaceX follows a $10 billion infusion into xAI in January 2026, which was subsequently acquired by SpaceX [1]. The resulting position of 122,764,805 shares was valued at nearly $21 billion at the end of June, trailing only the company’s stake in Intel [1]. While Nvidia has seen success with its initial AI-related investments, the SpaceX holding faces immediate scrutiny due to the company's aggressive cash burn and unique, staggered lockup schedule that deviates from the standard 180-day post-IPO restriction [1].
The data center segment of SpaceX has reported a 92% increase in sales for the second quarter, yet this growth coincides with a sharp rise in capital expenditures [1]. AI-related spending for the company reached $23.55 billion in the first six months of 2026, a substantial increase from the $3.32 billion recorded during the same period last year [1]. Analysts suggest this high rate of expenditure may necessitate future dilutive financing rounds to sustain operations [1].
Beyond the balance sheet, the outlook for the SpaceX position remains clouded by concerns regarding leadership bandwidth and historical performance [1]. Elon Musk, who also serves as CEO of Tesla, faces ongoing questions about his ability to meet ambitious innovation timelines, such as previous unfulfilled targets for autonomous driving technology [1]. These operational uncertainties, combined with an accelerated share unlock schedule that could increase the float, create a complex environment for Nvidia’s passive investment strategy [1].
The integration of SpaceX into Nvidia’s $63.4 billion portfolio underscores the company's deep commitment to the AI revolution, a sector PwC estimates could represent a $15.7 trillion opportunity by 2030 [1]. Whether this massive capital allocation yields long-term returns or succumbs to the pressures of high-cost infrastructure development remains the central question for shareholders [1].

It is a mathematical ratio calculated by dividing the total existing supply of an asset (stock) by the amount of new supply produced annually (flow).
Halving events reduce the block reward for miners by 50%, which lowers the annual flow of new Bitcoin and increases the S2F ratio, theoretically signaling higher scarcity.
While it was influential in earlier cycles, its predictive accuracy has weakened as Bitcoin's price has frequently deviated from the model's projections, leading many to use it as a historical reference instead.
The model is applied because Bitcoin has a limited, code-defined supply schedule, making it comparable to scarce physical commodities like gold.
