According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 16 energy storage report pointed out that electricity demand from data centers is surging, traditional grid expansion requires four to eight years, and energy storage has become the fastest solution with a 12 to 18-month deployment cycle. Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030, behind-the-meter energy storage opportunities in the US will bring about 50GWh of increment, plus 11GWh from 800V DC data centers, total US energy storage deployment will reach 172GWh, significantly upwardly revised from the previous 112GWh. Globally, annual energy storage installations are expected to reach 2100GWh by 2040. Goldman Sachs believes energy storage is transitioning from renewable energy supporting equipment to a necessity for AI infrastructure, which will change the industry valuation logic. In terms of targets, FLNC (Buy) secured exclusive battery partner qualification for Nvidia DSX Vera Rubin, data center pipeline projects reached 12GW, up 30% sequentially; CATL (Buy) has about 30% global energy storage market share, already used in Shanghai SenseTime data center; Tesla (Neutral) 2025 energy storage deployment 46.7GWh, energy business 2028 estimated revenue 29 billion USD; Energy Vault (Neutral) received 6x EV/EBITDA valuation; LGES (Buy) North America ESS capacity expected to reach 50GWh by end of 2026. Canadian Solar, Ford, Samsung SDI, Shoals, Sungrow are also worth watching. Goldman Sachs emphasizes the need to distinguish those with real order support

the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and PitchBook recently released the "Venture Monitor" report, noting that after SpaceX's listing and the potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, the combined value generated by these three companies will reach an unprecedented level. The report states: "With SpaceX going public, combined with the future exits of these companies, the value created will surpass the total exit value of all US VC-backed companies since 2000." The core factor lies in the extremely high valuation expectations of these three companies.SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, while Anthropic and OpenAI are also moving towards multi-trillion-dollar enterprise valuations. The market estimates that the combined valuation of the three companies could exceed $4 trillion. This scale far surpasses past large-scale tech IPOs. Data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that total US IPO fundraising last year was about $70 billion, whereas SpaceX's single-company valuation has already reached a level that traditional large-scale IPOs find hard to match. As a once-highly-watched tech IPO case, Uber was valued at around $84 billion when it went public in 2019, which is less than 5% of SpaceX's current valuation.However, the comparison by NVCA and PitchBook is based on "enterprise value created," not the actual cash-out amounts for investors. Additionally, the analysis does not include non-US companies like Alibaba. Furthermore, the value created by already-public companies such as Apple, Google Android, YouTube, and Instagram is not counted in the VC exit statistics.The report points out that over the past 25 years, the US tech market has seen several historic IPOs, including Google in 2004, Tesla in 2010, and Meta in 2012. These companies have since become some of the world's most valuable enterprises. Additionally, companies like LinkedIn, Slack, and WhatsApp were acquired for over $20 billion.The NVCA believes that the current IPO cycle driven by artificial intelligence (AI) could further break these records. The analysis suggests two main reasons driving this trend:First, tech companies are staying private for longer periods than in the past, accumulating higher valuations through prolonged financing and business expansion. If today's Google were in its early stages, it might also choose to go public later to achieve a higher market valuation.Second, the AI industry is highly capital-intensive. Training large AI models requires massive investment, pushing AI companies to continuously raise substantial funds and driving rapid valuation growth.Industry insiders believe that the potential scale of IPOs by SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will test the capacity of the US capital market. As AI companies transition from the private financing stage to the public market, how trillions of dollars in tech assets flow into the stock market will become a focus for investors. (DigitalToday)
According to Odaily, driven by the hype surrounding SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO), the tokenized stock market hit a record high for trading activity in June, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $3.86 billion, a 145% increase from May. Among the trades, tokenized SpaceX stocks accounted for $1.19 billion, representing approximately 31% of the total tokenized stock volume in June. The SPCX token launched by Backpack Securities became the most actively traded tokenized SpaceX stock product, with a single-month on-chain trading volume of $1.08 billion.Data indicates that this growth surge was primarily fueled by demand for SpaceX-related assets. Previously, SpaceX completed a $75 billion IPO, marking the largest IPO in history, and the company is valued at approximately $1.8 trillion on a fully diluted basis. Traditional popular assets such as Nvidia, Tesla, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) remained actively traded, but none matched the market heat of tokenized SpaceX stocks. Additionally, the total market capitalization of the tokenized stock market rose to $1.53 billion in June, up 6.64% from the previous month, marking the 15th consecutive month of growth. (CoinDesk)
“New Stock God” Serenity posted on X platform to clarify that he does not currently hold any shares of Harmonic Drive, and the related views are solely public research sharing. He further added that Harmonic Drive holds a key position in the humanoid robot industry chain, with its products expected to cover a significant portion of the manufacturing processes for humanoid robots. Currently, companies like AGIBot and Unitree have just entered the scale-up stage, with AGIBot’s cumulative shipments reaching only about 10,000 units. Therefore, the P/E valuations of related companies are generally high at this stage.However, Serenity pointed out that capital markets typically price in future growth expectations in advance. If manufacturers like Tesla Optimus and Unitree achieve mass production of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of robots in the coming years, and with trillions of dollars flowing into the humanoid robot industry, even if Harmonic Drive only captures about a 5% market share of core robot components, its valuation could be significantly higher than its current market capitalization.Based on comprehensive research of the industry chain, Serenity stated that Harmonic Drive is currently one of the highest-exposure targets he has identified related to the development of the humanoid robot industry.
SpaceX is progressing with its IPO and seeking a valuation of approximately $1.78 trillion. If realized, it would become the world's seventh-largest company by market cap. However, the mid-to-long-term business path justifying this valuation remains unclear.Furthermore, SpaceX's core narrative is shifting. In February of this year, Musk integrated SpaceX with xAI, making artificial intelligence a key component of the company's strategy. Compared to the original core vision of "making humanity a multi-planetary species," AI now occupies a more prominent position in the company's narrative. In the first quarter, xAI-related business reportedly accounted for over three-quarters of capital expenditures, while approximately 93% of the total addressable market mentioned in the IPO filing is also related to AI.Musk has long been adept at restructuring business narratives to align with market preferences, as seen in previous cases like integrating SolarCity into Tesla and merging Twitter with the xAI ecosystem. SpaceX's new narrative combines rocket launches with AI, envisioning the deployment of AI data centers in orbit to build future computing infrastructure. However, SpaceX launched approximately 2,200 tons of payload into orbit last year, while Musk has suggested that realizing the orbital data center vision would require an annual launch capacity of about 1 million tons. Although Starlink and the rocket business already hold industry-leading positions, genuine cash flow will ultimately be needed to validate this massive valuation hypothesis. (Financial Times)
SpaceX, the company led by Elon Musk, disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday that it plans to fix the offering price at $135 per share (consistent with the price disclosed by sources) before officially commencing its IPO roadshow. SpaceX stated that the company plans to issue 555.6 million shares, thereby raising $75 billion. Typically, at this stage of the IPO process, issuers set a price range to test market demand sensitivity at different price levels. However, SpaceX has adopted a more unique pricing strategy. Calculated at $135 per share, SpaceX's valuation would reach $1.77 trillion. This valuation would make SpaceX the seventh-largest publicly traded company in the US by market capitalization, surpassing Tesla, which currently has a valuation of approximately $1.6 trillion. SpaceX plans to officially list on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on June 12. (Jin Shi)
market analysts have pointed out that if Elon Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla proceeds, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, increasing the total share count to approximately 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past 12 months has dropped from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, its core operating profit stands at only about $2.3 billion.Analysts believe that this transaction may essentially be an attempt to use a high-valuation asset to acquire another similarly overvalued company, leaving significant uncertainty regarding its long-term profitability and cash flow performance. The combined company's valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla's current market cap around $1.65 trillion. Musk may be leveraging the high valuation from SpaceX's impending IPO to support Tesla, which is under earnings pressure. (Fortune)
As SpaceX approaches its IPO, market speculation about Elon Musk’s potential integration of Tesla and SpaceX has intensified once again. According to insiders, Musk has previously discussed the possibility of merging the two companies with internal stakeholders, and Tesla’s leadership has long believed an eventual integration is likely. Reports indicate that the two firms have deepened collaboration in AI infrastructure in recent years—sharing executives, technologies, and supply chains—and have already coordinated efforts in energy storage systems, vehicle procurement, and GPU order allocation. Legal experts note that while antitrust hurdles would likely be limited if a merger proceeds, challenges related to valuation, share swap ratios, and alignment of shareholder interests would be highly complex.
Anthropic's implied valuation in the on-chain Pre-IPO market has instantly surged to $1.2 trillion (approximately RMB 8.7 trillion), officially surpassing OpenAI. Its current pre-IPO valuation is now about 20% higher than OpenAI's. If listed at this valuation, it would directly become the world's 11th largest publicly traded company by market cap, trailing only Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, TSMC, Broadcom, Tesla, and Saudi Aramco.

during his trial testimony against OpenAI, Elon Musk stated, “Some cryptocurrency has value, but most of it is a scam.” The remarks came during cross-examination at the Oakland, California court, where the case involved OpenAI’s early consideration of raising funds through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering).According to reports, Musk’s response to relevant questions during the trial pointed to widespread speculation and fraudulent activities in the crypto asset space, drawing market attention.Notably, Musk’s stance on the crypto market has long shown significant volatility: during the 2021 bull market, he pushed Tesla to purchase approximately $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin and publicly mentioned Dogecoin on multiple occasions, driving substantial price surges for related assets. However, Tesla reduced its Bitcoin holdings by 75% in 2022 and booked an impairment loss of approximately $222 million on its remaining holdings in the first quarter of 2026. According to the latest financial report, it still holds approximately 11,509 Bitcoins, with a book value of around $786 million. (Fortune)
