SpaceX has implemented an unusually complex lock-up schedule for its shares following its recent $86 billion IPO, the largest in history. This intricate schedule, described as unprecedented by experts, dictates when founders, executives, and early investors can sell their stakes, with sales unlocking in staggered tranches rather than a single large release. The primary goal of this multi-date system is to prevent a massive sell-off that could destabilize the company's stock price immediately after its public debut. AI
