[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] SpaceX ranked first among private companies in the United States with a corporate value of 1,200 trillion won.

2nd place was OpenAI (KRW 700 trillion), 3rd place was Antropic (KRW 478 trillion), 4th place was xAI (KRW 325 trillion), 5th place was Databricks (KRW 188 trillion), 6th place was Stripe (KRW 124 trillion), 7th place was Anduril (KRW 104 trillion), 8th place was Ramp (KRW 43 trillion), 9th place was Scale (KRW 39 trillion), and 10th place was Ripple (KRW 30 trillion).

This ranking appears to reflect the recent explosive growth in AI, space, and fintech, but the actual corporate value is lower or fluctuates based on the latest funding rounds and media reports.

Battle for AI and space supremacy, 'Space Open AI·xAI pursuit

SpaceX recently received a valuation of about $800 billion through an internal stock sale and has set a target of $1.5 trillion ahead of its 2026 IPO. This is the result of projected revenue of $15 billion to $24 billion from its Starship rocket development and Starlink satellite internet business, and it has reclaimed its position as the world's largest private company, surpassing OpenAI's $500 billion record.

OpenAI is currently in funding discussions for $830 billion, up from $500 billion, and its annual cash burn is projected to surge from $17 billion to $35 billion by 2027.

Intensifying competition and value gaps among AI tech companies

Antropic is seeking $350 billion in funding, nearly doubling its $183 billion four months ago, led by GIC and Coatue. xAI, which raised $20 billion, reached a $230 billion valuation and is expanding its Grok AI with support from NVIDIA and the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund.

As shown in the rankings of AI companies, the figures of 1,200 trillion won, 700 trillion won, 478 trillion won, and 325 trillion won appear to be estimates that take into account exchange rates and recent fluctuations, and the surge in investment in AI infrastructure is a key driver of the value increase.

Chasers in Data, Fintech, and Defense

Databricks has emerged as an AI data platform, raising $4 billion in a Series L round of $134 billion (approximately KRW 185 trillion) and recording an annual revenue run rate of $4.8 billion (55% growth).

Stripe is expected to reach $129 billion (approximately KRW 178 trillion) in revenue with $5.1 billion (28% increase) in 2024 and $5.8 billion in 2025, while Ramp is expected to reach $22.5 billion (approximately KRW 31 trillion) and Anduril is expected to reach $66.4 billion (approximately KRW 91 trillion), showing similar trends to the image figures.

ScaleAI and Ripple's recent estimates of 39 trillion and 30 trillion won, respectively, are based on insufficient public data, but they hold significant growth potential in AI data labeling and blockchain.

A wave of IPOs is expected in 2026.

The combined value of these companies exceeds hundreds of trillions of won, symbolizing their dominance in the AI ​​and space industries. IPOs like SpaceX and Antropic in 2026 are expected to shock the market. This provides a rough overview of image rankings and corporate value. Actual funding and the latest reports as of January 2026 present lower figures, reflecting volatility.
