What happened?
- Cursor’s annualized business-to-business revenue reached $2.6 billion, and it had surpassed $1 billion in total annualized revenue by the end of 2025, with customers including Nvidia, Adobe, and Datadog.
- SpaceX’s IPO on February 12, 2026 raised $85.7 billion at a $2 trillion-plus valuation; its shares have since risen over 56% to $211.27, gaining nearly 10% premarket after the deal announcement.
- Cursor cited compute bottlenecks as a key growth constraint; the deal provides access to xAI’s Colossus supercomputing infrastructure to scale its agentic coding models.
- SpaceX did not use IPO proceeds for the purchase; the transaction is all-stock, and the company’s market cap added approximately $247 billion on the news.
