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.
