· 4 pulledThis is the year of the giga-IPO.
Spacex, Elon Musk's aerospace and artificial-intelligence company, raised a record $75 billion in capital when it went public earlier this month, instantly becoming one of the 10 most valuable companies in the world.
The AI giants Anthropic and OpenAI, meanwhile, both recently filed to go public later this year, ensuring that in a matter of months, we will likely witness the three biggest IPOs in history.
These massive IPOs are outliers in other ways too. The number of businesses going public has been shrinking.
