Musk's Nationwide 'Airdrop' Estimated: Valued at Up to Approximately $10.7 Billion

BlockBeats news, October 19 - Musk plans to gift one share of SpaceX stock to every child in the United States next year. Based on SpaceX's closing price of $146.03 on October 16, if covering approximately 70 million children, the total value of the shares involved would be about $10.222 billion; if covering the approximately 73.37 million eligible children estimated by the U.S. Treasury for 2026, the total value would reach about $10.714 billion.

The White House announced on October 7 that nearly 70 million "Trump Accounts" have been established, with more than 60 million created through automatic enrollment. If the stock gifting plan is implemented through the relevant accounts, the existing number of accounts can serve as a preliminary basis for estimation.

The above amounts are all calculated based on the current stock price, and the actual scale of stock gifts and total value will still depend on the final number of recipients, the implementation plan, and the stock price at the time of delivery.
