SpaceX, the space technology company led by Elon Musk, reported its second-quarter revenue at $7.8 billion, surpassing Wall Street's expectations of $6.9 billion. This marks the company's first quarterly results since its record-breaking IPO in June.

The company announced a narrowed net loss of $541 million, an improvement from the $1.0 billion loss recorded in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA nearly tripled to $3.5 billion, fueled by accelerated growth across its launch services, Starlink satellite internet, and artificial intelligence businesses.

Investors closely monitored SpaceX's digital asset holdings. The company disclosed that its digital assets were valued at $1.10 billion at the end of the second quarter, a decrease from $1.64 billion at the close of 2025. While the IPO filing indicated SpaceX held 18,712 bitcoin acquired for approximately $661 million, the latest earnings report did not specify the number of bitcoin held or provide reasons for the decline in value.

Following the report, SpaceX's stock (SPCX) fell 6% in after-hours trading. The stock had previously closed the regular session up nearly 10% for the day, while the Nasdaq 100 index gained 3.3%.
