**Key Points: SpaceX ETF Investments**
As of August 31, 2026, the Vanguard Communication Services ETF holds 1,170,398 shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX), marking an 85.2% increase in just two months. SpaceX, with a market cap of $2 trillion, is currently the eighth-largest holding in the ETF and is expected to become a top-three holding as more shares are unlocked.
Since its IPO on June 12, 2026, only 5% of SpaceX shares have been available for public trading on Nasdaq. This limited float has led various ETFs, particularly Vanguard ETFs, to increase their positions in SpaceX as shares are gradually unlocked. With this increase in float, SpaceX’s weighting in sector indices such as the Nasdaq-100 will rise significantly.
In contrast to other Vanguard ETFs, where SpaceX’s presence remains modest, the Vanguard Communication Services ETF focuses heavily on major companies, with Alphabet and Meta Platforms making up 42.4% of its holdings. SpaceX’s inclusion is reshaping the communications sector, appealing to both growth and value investors looking for exposure to emerging markets like AI and robotics.
