Unicorn Valuations Skyrocket to Trillions: AI Giants Like OpenAI and SpaceX Drive Tech Boom

Unicorn startups are experiencing unprecedented valuation escalation in AI, space, tech, and robotics sectors.

The combined entity of SpaceX and xAI now boasts a staggering $1.25 trillion valuation, far exceeding what $1 trillion could acquire across the top 100 unicorns just three years ago.

AI Powerhouses Shatter Records

OpenAI is in talks for fresh funding that could value it at over $750 billion.

Anthropic has secured financing at a $350 billion valuation this year alone.

Databricks raised capital at $134 billion, backed by a $5.4 billion annual revenue run-rate.

Space, Robotics, and Tech Surge Ahead

Waymo achieved a $126 billion post-money valuation following a massive $16 billion raise.

Robotics leader Figure hit $39 billion after its $1 billion Series C round.

Notable mentions include Stripe above $91.5 billion and defense tech firm Anduril Industries at $30.5 billion.

The total cost to acquire the top 100 unicorns now stands at approximately $3.5 trillion, according to Forge estimates.

Historically, these valuations have tripled rapidly, defying earlier predictions of market corrections.

This boom signals robust investor confidence, reshaping venture capital landscapes and fueling innovation in transformative technologies.

Looking forward, SpaceX's anticipated 2026 IPO may set even higher benchmarks for private-to-public transitions.
