SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) has reportedly raised a substantial $85.7 billion. This significant capital infusion was facilitated by the underwriters' exercise of a 'greenshoe' option.
The 'greenshoe' option, also known as an overallotment option, is a standard provision in IPOs that allows underwriters to sell more shares than initially planned. This mechanism can help stabilize the stock price after the offering and increase the total capital raised during the public debut.
According to Channel News Asia, the successful exercise of this option contributed to the overall fundraising total for SpaceX.
