Governor Abbott Celebrates SpaceX Dual Listing On Nasdaq And Nasdaq Texas

AUSTIN, TX -- Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated SpaceX’s landmark decision to dual-list on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas as part of its historic initial public offering.

“SpaceX embodies the bold spirit that defines Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “Its decision to dual-list on Nasdaq Texas and the main Nasdaq exchange strengthens our economy, creates high-skill jobs, and further shows that our state stands as a world-class hub where innovation meets global capital. Texas is the premier place for companies that shape the future.”

SpaceX has deep roots in Texas, including its headquarters and Starbase in the Rio Grande Valley. Trading under SPCX, this dual listing connects one of the world’s most innovative companies to Texas capital markets - proof that companies can stay rooted here while accessing global liquidity.

“Today marks a defining moment — for SpaceX, for American innovation, and for Texas, the company's home state,” said Rachel Racz, SVP and Head of Listings for Texas at Nasdaq. “SpaceX's listing on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas cements the state's standing as a world-class hub for transformative companies, and this marquee dual listing is a powerful demonstration of what becomes possible when global liquidity and local alignment converge.”

SpaceX’s dual listing represents one of the most significant capital markets events in a generation and directly connects Texas to the global stage at a historic milestone.

Nasdaq Texas, which officially launched earlier this year with its first cohort of dual-listed companies, now adds SpaceX — making it the largest listing venue in Texas by a wide margin.
