The amount of new shares for sale could be very large in those three IPOs:
SpaceX: up to $75B [1]
OpenAI: at least $60B [2]
Anthropic: more than $60B [3]
Together, that would be about $195B+ of IPO shares to buy.
For comparison, all U.S. IPOs together raised $44.0B in 2025 [4].
All IPOs in the world together raised $171.8B in 2025 [5].
So where should the money come from? Either from selling shares in other companies or from loaning money which would only make sense if the Fed brings back ZIRP.
