We've all heard of the massive IPOs due (hopefully) sometime this year, and with all the recent/accumulated hype around AI/SpaceTech companies, I think we should follow where the smart money goes.
First point is the GOAT Peter thiel and his venture capital fund, **Founders Fund:**
They have major holdings/stakes in both **OpenAI** and notably **SpaceX,** with a massive **$1B** investment in late 2025 into **OpenAI** and total investments upwards of **$600-$700M** in **SpaceX,** which alone is worth over **$80 billion** as of today, and considering the fund has an **AUM** of **$17 billion** and **total realized/unrealized portfolio** of **\~$200 billion,** a conservative estimate IPO of **$1.5T** will likely more than double their unrealized stake in **SpaceX** and combined with **OpenAI's** IPO could double the paper gains of the entire fund.
Now I'll mention the IPO that peter and his fund explicitly stated won't be a part of: **Anthropic. Co:**
Honestly tired of paraphrasing articles and AI, I think you all know **Anthropic** has the most hype and sentiment towards IPO, you cannot miss out on this one.
Now this is all just a segway into the core of the onion, **Low-risk/High-return Tickers** that directly stand to gain from the IPOs:
1. $SATS - SpaceX

With around **45-50%** of their mkt cap in **SpaceX** shares, roughly **$10\~$11B,** this ticker stands to gain the most from the **SpaceX** IPO and the following periods of insanely high IV, all without the premiums you would have to pay to get into **$DTECH** or **$RKLB.**
2. $MSFT - OpenAI

The past 6 months have been looking rough for this stock, but it's all about to change for the better (for calls) in 2026. I look at this Mag 7 stock fallen from previous highs of \~$540 and all I can see is **unlimited upside at a 23% discount.** With an **absurd 27% ownership stake in OpenAI,** even if Altman shit himself on live tv you'll be able to sleep well at night knowing it can only go up.
3. $SKM - Anthropic

If you want exposure to **Anthropic. Co,** look no further than **$SKM**, a South Korean giant conglomerate in the Wireless Telecommunication industry, merely a subdivision of their parent company SK, one of the country's largest chaebols. With a dominance of **50.5 of all shares** in their local market, **$SKM** is a solid investment even without their major stakes in **Anthropic. Co.** A monopoly in their industry at a relative all-time low is a great investment nonetheless, but things really start to take off when we look at their holdings. **They hold an ownership stake of approximately** **0.58%\~0.7%,** which may not seem like a lot, but relative to their **\~$9B mkt cap**, it makes up a significant portion of **$SKM's valuation at around 20%-25% of the company.** They've also got a joint partnership with **Anthropic,** together developing a **Multilingual LLM** tailored for the telecommunications industry. The Koreans are pretty slow to catch on, and the general public knows little to nothing about **Anthropic or their projects with SKM**, so we are early investors here. And, if you look at their Ytd/1Yr chart you can see a clear uptrend forming.
my current positions are:
$SATS: +1 contracts of $9.80 ac Expiry - 9/18 pt $160
$MSFT: +2 contracts of $4.90 ac Expiry - 11/20 pt $600
$SKM: +5 contracts of $1.89 ac Expiry - 9/18 pt $41
**Tldr; If you want HUGE upside potential with little to no downside risk load up on $sats, $msft, $skm;** **Calls, don't be a pussy**
