SpaceX undervalued? Early investor says it could become first $10 trillion company
SpaceX early investor and XPRIZE Foundation founder Peter Diamandis stated that SpaceX has the potential to become the world's first company with a market capitalization of $10 trillion.During an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," Diamandis said that the market has yet to find the right way to value SpaceX, and that the company's space transportation, satellite internet, and future space economy initiatives could generate long-term growth far exceeding that of traditional enterprises.He pointed out that SpaceX's core value comes not only from its reusable rocket business, but also from Starlink satellite internet, future lunar and Mars exploration programs, and the new economic ecosystem being built around space infrastructure.Previously, SpaceX had already become one of the highest-valued private tech companies globally. As the company expands from rocket launches into satellite communications and deep-space exploration, investors are trying to reassess its long-term commercial potential.Diamandis believes that traditional valuation models struggle to measure the value of a platform company like SpaceX, which operates across aerospace, communications, and future infrastructure simultaneously, so the market may be underestimating its future growth potential.

SpaceX Plans to Deploy First Batch of V3 Starlink Satellites via Starship Test Flight as Early as Next Week
Odaily News: SpaceX has grand plans for Starship. If all goes according to plan, this 407-foot-tall rocket will one day be used to build an orbital AI data center network and send humans to the Moon and Mars. But first, the company plans to use Starship to send a new, improved money-making machine into space—Starlink satellites.SpaceX plans to send its first batch of V3 satellites into orbit during a critical Starship test flight mission as early as next week. Getting Starship to operate as envisioned is crucial for SpaceX and its shareholders. The company needs Starship not only to revitalize its own Starlink communications network—which contributed nearly 55% of the company's revenue in the second quarter—but also to launch satellites for a range of commercial purposes. Then perhaps its most lucrative mission: sending a futuristic orbital data center into space, which SpaceX says could help tap into a total addressable AI market worth $26.5 trillion. (Bloomberg)

Trump signs memorandum to boost U.S. space launches
Odaily News: On August 20 local time, the White House announced that U.S. President Trump has signed a memorandum proposing that by 2030, U.S. space transportation ranges and related facilities should be capable of supporting more than 1,000 launch and reentry missions annually. The memorandum states that the U.S. will expand and improve space launch and reentry infrastructure, requiring relevant agencies to promote the opening of federal launch sites to commercial users, encourage commercial investment, public-private partnerships, and joint infrastructure development, while accelerating facility permitting and environmental reviews. NASA has also been tasked with developing a commercial lunar logistics architecture, exploring commercial robotic Mars landings, and related architectures for commercial crewed round-trip missions to Mars.

Brian Armstrong: The U.S. Constitution Lacks a Government Spending Growth Cap and a Hard Asset-Backed Currency Requirement
Brian Armstrong posted on X platform, stating that the U.S. Constitution is the most important political innovation in history, but it lacks two crucial elements: a cap on government spending growth and a requirement for a hard asset-backed currency. Without these two elements, every democracy tends toward more debt and eventually loses its reserve currency status, as seen in The Changing World Order. The U.S. national debt stands at $39 trillion and is increasing by approximately $1 trillion every 100 days. Currently, interest payments have exceeded the defense budget, and the existing mechanisms cannot stop this trend. Politicians get elected by promising free benefits funded by other people's money. Some voters benefit in the short term, while the negative impacts of spending are borne by future generations who have no voting rights. The incentive structure is already broken. Solutions include drafting new constitutions in frontier areas such as Mars, special economic zones, and cyberspace; adjusting incentive structures in existing systems through amendments, though this is politically challenging; or outpacing inflation through ultra-high economic growth driven by AI, robotics, and cryptocurrency.

Metaplanet Delays Preferred Stock Listing Plan Due to Structural Challenges in the Japanese Market
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company has postponed its planned listings of the Mars and Mercury preferred shares due to the immaturity of Japan’s preferred stock market and restrictions imposed by exchange rules. He explained that Japanese exchanges require preferred share dividends to be supported by sustainable, recurring cash flows, while Metaplanet still needs to demonstrate that its Bitcoin revenue business can generate stable returns across varying market conditions. Additionally, the company plans to distribute dividends monthly, whereas the Japanese market typically follows annual or semi-annual dividend schedules, and the related infrastructure remains under development. Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC, and its stock price has declined 25% year-to-date.

Analysis: SpaceX’s Business Shows One Pole Profitable, Two Poles Loss-Making, with Cumulative Losses Reaching $41.3 Billion
On the first day of SpaceX's listing, only 4.2% of the total shares were available for trading. With supply unable to meet demand and subscription enthusiasm running high, a short-term surge in the stock price was not unexpected. However, the company's price-to-sales ratio has exceeded 112 times, far surpassing Tesla's 15 times and chip giant Nvidia's nearly 20 times.That said, SpaceX's business exhibits a pattern of "one pole profitable, two poles loss-making." Starlink is the undeniable "cash cow." According to the prospectus, this satellite internet business generated $11.39 billion in revenue last year, accounting for 61% of SpaceX's total revenue. By the end of 2025, it had served over 10 million users. The company also plans to acquire spectrum and add 15,000 satellites to deploy a direct-to-cell service, potentially covering approximately 6 billion mobile phone users worldwide. The rocket launch business, leveraging reusable technology, holds about an 80% share of the global commercial rocket launch market. Yet it still posted a loss of $657 million last year. Furthermore, if Starship is to achieve crewed Mars landings, substantial funding and continued technological iteration are required.xAI and future space computing business are seen as "black holes for burning cash." According to statistics from some institutions, at the current loss rate, xAI alone could deplete Starlink's profits within the next four quarters. According to the prospectus, SpaceX has accumulated losses of $41.3 billion since its founding in 2002. (CCTV News)
