The year 2026 is poised to witness a wave of significant initial public offerings (IPOs) across the technology and cryptocurrency sectors. Notable companies preparing for public listings include SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, ByteDance, Databricks, Stripe, and Canva. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, aims for a record-breaking IPO with a valuation of $1.5 trillion, driven by its Starlink satellite internet service. OpenAI and Anthropic, two AI powerhouses, are also gearing up for IPOs, with OpenAI targeting a $100 billion valuation and Anthropic preparing for a potential $30 billion valuation. In the cryptocurrency space, BitGo has already made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange, signaling a strong start to the year. Meanwhile, Chinese tech companies like Zhipu and MiniMax have successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with Zhipu's offering oversubscribed by 1,164 times. The Hong Kong market is expected to see more tech IPOs, particularly in semiconductors and new energy sectors, as companies leverage the flexible listing requirements under Chapter 18C. The Sci-Tech Innovation Board in China will focus on "hard tech" sectors, including semiconductors, aerospace, and robotics, as the main battleground for Chinese tech IPOs in 2026.
