According to The Wall Street Journal, SpaceX's upcoming IPO is expected to bring substantial paper gains to the endowment funds of several universities in the United States. About 10% of the University of North Carolina system's endowment fund is invested in SpaceX, primarily stemming from early investments in Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. The University of Washington in St. Louis has a holding in SpaceX that exceeds 15%, with the fund having invested in SpaceX in 2018 alongside Vy Capital. Stanford University also holds a significant stake in SpaceX, indirectly through institutions such as Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Darsana.

SpaceX has transformed from an initial rocket launch company into an internet provider, social media platform, and AI company, with its valuation soaring from $140 billion in December 2022 to approximately $1.77 trillion at this week's IPO pricing. Some schools have reduced their positions in the secondary market to lock in profits, such as the University of Washington, which has sold off part of its holdings to secure gains. Although the paper gains are considerable, the use of endowment funds is legally restricted, and schools may not be able to allocate them freely.
