SPACE X LOCK-UP UPDATEโฆ
Up to 59.1 million $SPCX shares have now been released from lock-up, allowing insiders to sell.
This is a separate release from yesterdayโs 319 million share unlock.
Combined, approximately 378.1 million shares are now available, representing around $58 billion in value at recent prices.
A lock-up period prevents early investors and employees from selling shares immediately after a public listing.
With the restriction lifted, insiders now have the option to sell whenever they choose.
8 politicians, including President Donald Trump, hold $SPCX.
Current share price: ~$148.80
