    1. Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ)

    This is a closed-end fund that physically owns shares of SpaceX. Because SpaceX is private, DXYZ has become a "retail pressure valve" for investors who can't buy the private stock.

    • Why it benefits:SpaceX makes up roughly 23% to 35%of its portfolio. When SpaceX valuation rumors move from $200B to $1.75T, DXYZ typically experiences massive "hype spikes" that trade far above its actual Net Asset Value (NAV).

    • The Risk:Once SpaceX goes public, DXYZ's "scarcity premium" disappears. If investors can buy SpaceX directly on TradeStation, they may no longer see a reason to pay a premium for DXYZ. Look for a "sell the news" event once the IPO date is finalized.

    2. EchoStar (SATS)

    EchoStar has transitioned from a struggling satellite TV provider into a major SpaceX proxy due to a massive deal closed in 2025.

    • Why it benefits:EchoStar sold a massive block of wireless spectrum to SpaceX in exchange for equity in SpaceXand cash. Analysts estimate this stake now makes up the majority of EchoStar’s market cap.

    • The Chart Play:SATS often moves in lockstep with SpaceX valuation updates. If SpaceX debuts at a $1.5T+ valuation, EchoStar's balance sheet will essentially be "marked to market," which could lead to a massive fundamental re-rating of the stock.

    3. ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF (XOVR)

    XOVR is an ETF designed to give retail investors access to late-stage private companies (like SpaceX) alongside public ones.

    • Why it benefits:As of late March 2026, SpaceX exposure (held via an SPV) accounts for nearly 46% of the fund's net assets. It is perhaps the most "pure-play" SpaceX exposure available in an ETF format.

    • The Advantage:Unlike DXYZ, which can trade at a 100% premium to its assets, XOVR is an ETF and tends to stay closer to its NAV. This makes it a more "stable" way to play the valuation growth without the extreme volatility of closed-end fund premiums.


      • AST SpaceMobile (ASTS):Often moves on Starlink news as they are the primary competitor/peer in the "satellite-to-cell" market.

      • Rocket Lab (RKLB):As the second most successful private-turned-public launch provider, it often catches the "overflow" of investor interest in the space sector.

      • Alphabet (GOOGL):Google was an early investor in SpaceX. While the stake is tiny compared to Google's total size, it provides a "safe haven" way to own a piece of the pie.

      • Does anyone use the Net Asset Value (NAV) when they trade?  If the gap between the stock price and the underlying asset value gets too wide (e.g., >50%), it usually signals a local top is near, regardless of how good the SpaceX news is.
