Washington, D.C., Dec. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wall Street Journal bestselling author and technology analyst James Altucher is revisiting one of his most closely followed predictions in a most recent video presentation now available for public viewing — the idea that Elon Musk's Starlink business is being positioned for a historic public offering in 2026. Altucher, known for identifying major technology shifts well before they reach mainstream attention, opens the presentation by laying out why Starlink stood out to him early as more than a side project inside SpaceX. In the video, he frames Starlink as a foundational infrastructure play — one that could ultimately support what he describes as the “single biggest IPO in history.” The presentation walks viewers through why he believes the groundwork for such an event has been forming quietly — and why recent developments suggest the timeline he outlined may already be unfolding. Inside the Presentation: What Altucher Said Was Coming In the video, Altucher explains that his focus on Starlink dates back to its transition from experimental technology into a functioning, global network. Rather than treating Starlink as a future concept, he emphasizes that the system is already operational at scale — a prerequisite, in his view, for any serious public-market discussion. At one point in the presentation, Altucher states that Starlink is “sweeping the globe,” pointing to its rapidly expanding satellite constellation and its ability to deliver internet access independent of traditional ground-based infrastructure. He also notes that, based on his research, he expects Elon Musk is preparing to take Starlink public in 2026, describing the opportunity as one that could eclipse previous landmark IPOs in both size and impact. What's Happening Now: Growth That Mirrors the Thesis Since the release of Altucher's analysis, new data has begun to surface that aligns closely with the trajectory he outlined in the presentation. Recent reporting shows that Starlink traffic has doubled, a signal that usage is accelerating as adoption expands across residential, commercial, and institutional use cases. The same reporting notes that SpaceX is increasingly being discussed in connection with a potential valuation reaching into the trillion-dollar range, further fueling speculation around a future public listing. These developments reinforce one of Altucher's core arguments in the video: that Starlink is no longer operating on promise alone, but on measurable growth and real-world demand. As he explains in the presentation, Starlink's ability to bypass cables, towers, and regional bottlenecks fundamentally changes how internet access can be delivered — and how quickly it can scale. Why 2026 Remains the Focal Point A key section of the video is dedicated to why 2026 has emerged as a meaningful timeframe in discussions around Starlink's future. Altucher connects this to a combination of factors, including operational maturity, user growth, and the broader market environment for large-scale technology offerings. In the presentation, he emphasizes that the most significant wealth creation events often occur before a company becomes public, not after — a point he reinforces by comparing Starlink's trajectory to earlier internet inflection points. Altucher describes Starlink as part of what he calls a “radical new internet,” suggesting that shifts of this magnitude tend to reach a tipping point quietly before becoming impossible to ignore.
