A total of 328.4 million SpaceX (SPCX) shares, valued at approximately $51 billion, have been unlocked from lockup restrictions, according to a report published by COINOTAG on October 9, 2026.

The release corresponds to the expiry of a lockup arrangement covering the shares in question. Lockup provisions are a standard feature of public listings: founders, employees, early-stage investors, and other pre-listing holders customarily agree not to sell their shares for a set window — often 90 to 180 days — after a company begins trading, an arrangement intended to prevent an immediate flood of shares onto the market in the first weeks of a listing. Once such restrictions lapse, the affected shares become part of the freely tradable float, which is why lockup expiries are routinely tracked as supply-side calendar events — although holders are under no obligation to sell.

Based on the reported figures, the batch implies a reference value of roughly $155 per unlocked share.

COINOTAG issued an update at 12:13 UTC, noting that a follow-up report dated October 10 adds a date and a framing to the calendar. The expiry itself determines only when the shares become eligible to trade; whether any holder actually sells is a separate matter that becomes visible only through subsequent market activity.
