Before the IPO and after
A SpaceX purchase dated before June 12, 2026 is a pre-IPO stake: private stock, bought through a secondary market or a pooled pre-IPO vehicle while the company was not listed. A purchase on or after that date is public SPCX shares, bought on the open market like any other listed stock. In the record, 1 purchase falls before the IPO and 7 purchases after it; 1 sale has been reported, after the listing. Lisa McClain has also disclosed a private stake in xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, which SpaceX acquired in an all-stock deal in February 2026.
How the post-IPO purchases have moved
Coldpine measures each disclosed purchase the same way across the site: the close on the first trading day on or after the trade date, against the close 90 days later, next to the S&P 500 (SPY) over the same window. For SpaceX that covers the 5 post-IPO purchases dated at least 90 days before the latest price (October 30, 2026). They moved -17.00% on average, against +1.61% for the index, and 0 of 5 did better than it. The entry is a closing price, not what anyone paid: SPCX closed at $160.95 on its first day, so a purchase at the open could have been well above or below that. The pre-IPO stake had no public price and is not measured. How the measure works is set out in the methodology, and the same figures for every member are in does Congress beat the market.
Whose accounts
The STOCK Act covers a member’s spouse and dependent children as well as the member. Of the 9 SpaceX transactions, 3 are listed under a spouse, 1 under a dependent child, 1 as the member's own and 4 with no owner given. How often that happens across all of Congress is covered in spouse and child trades. Each amount is a reported range, not a position size or a profit; members have up to 45 days to report a trade, and some take longer.
