Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, sees possible weakness in SpaceX stock as a good buying opportunity for those investors who look at long-term investments.
Referring to the growth of SpaceX in the future, Lee said that he wouldn’t be able to give a price target for a short period because, he thinks, the valuation of a company that will reveal most of its potential only in decades is a highly speculative task.
His comments come at a time when SpaceX is on track for a share unlock that could make this historically illiquid asset tradable and lead to volatility.
SpaceX Share Unlocks Influence Valuation Expectations
Lee’s comments focus on SpaceX, the aerospace company led by Elon Musk, and the increasing secondary market activity expected from the company’s stock unlocking. Besides SpaceX, key players in the story are Fundstrat, original investors in SpaceX, institutional allocators, and secondary market platforms.

Lee thinks the hedging done by early investors combined with higher stock availability due to the unlocking, will lead to temporary selling pressure being the main effect rather than a fundamental revaluation.

Why It Matters to Crypto and Blockchain Markets
Even though SpaceX isn’t a blockchain protocol, the story in two ways touches crypto.
- Institutional desire for high-growth tech informs allocate to digital assets and tokens.
- Valuation issues Lee discusses resemble debates in crypto where projects discount long-term network effects.
Messari data indicates the exposure to private tech frequently tracks risk-on sentiment in crypto ETFs and growth equity funds.

Lee’s remarks support a narrative in transition to the 2026 timeframe where crossover investors may view illiquid innovation exposure as a proxy for frontier tech beta, in a way similar to early Bitcoin treasury adoption.
Other major developments are the release of SpaceX shares to the market, pricing of secondary transactions, and how these may influence private-market sentiment more broadly. The lesson for crypto market participants is the extent to which traditional growth narratives influence liquidity preferences.
