The Big Picture Behind the SpaceX IPO: Artificial Intelligence, Space Infrastructure

The financial world has been focused on a single question for quite some time: How will SpaceX’s upcoming IPO reshape the markets? However, viewing this massive public offering solely through the lens of “a milestone for the aerospace industry” or “another Elon Musk success story” means examining only the visible tip of the iceberg.

The financial world has been focused on a single question for quite some time: How will SpaceX’s upcoming IPO reshape the markets? However, viewing this massive public offering solely through the lens of “a milestone for the aerospace industry” or “another Elon Musk success story” means examining only the visible tip of the iceberg.

From our perspective, the SpaceX IPO represents the official starting signal of a “Great Rotation” that has been maturing within the global technology ecosystem for years—a convergence point where three massive megatrends intersect and reinforce one another. These megatrends are: Space Infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Centers, and Semiconductors.

So why is this convergence happening now, and how is the RUT Fund, managed under our Portfolio Management Company, positioned at the very center of this global transformation as both a “safe harbor and growth engine”? Let’s take a closer look.

The Physical Limits to Growth: Why Change Has Become Inevitable

The computing demand driven by artificial intelligence is no longer growing linearly—it is expanding at an exponential pace. Looking at technology trends over the past three years, we can clearly see how the industry has encountered a different wall each year:

2024: The debate centered on the question, “Large Language Models (LLMs) consume too much energy—is this sustainable?”

2025: The conversation shifted to, “Billions of dollars are flowing into companies solving the energy bottleneck.”

2026: The problem is no longer energy alone. “Energy and Bandwidth” have become a global bottleneck.

Data center investments by technology giants such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google continue to accelerate. Yet the world is running out of sufficient electrical grid capacity, physical space, and fiber infrastructure required to train and operate these models. Today, data centers consume between 15% and 30% of total electricity usage in some developed economies.

This constraint has triggered three critical solution layers that continuously reinforce one another across the technology industry.

The New Architecture of the Technology World: 3 Critical Layers

To properly analyze the investment opportunities of the future, the ecosystem must be divided into three primary layers:

Layer 1: Connectivity Infrastructure (Starlink, Amazon Kuiper, Fiber Networks)

The flow of data between terrestrial data centers and edge devices is constrained by existing bandwidth capacity. Without low-earth-orbit satellite constellations such as Starlink or Kuiper alleviating this congestion, the global commercialization and seamless operation of artificial intelligence at scale will be impossible.

Layer 2: Computing Power (GPU/TPU Systems and Advanced Semiconductors)

The scale of AI models is growing geometrically. We have moved from the 100-billion-parameter models that defined 2025 to systems exceeding one trillion parameters this year. Supporting this workload requires extraordinary engineering and highly energy-efficient chip architectures produced by industry leaders such as Nvidia and TSMC.

Layer 3: Energy Infrastructure (Small Modular Nuclear Reactors and Smart Grids)

The most significant wall facing the technology sector today is energy. From small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) to advanced energy storage systems, no technology giant—regardless of how advanced its chips may be—can continue growing without solving the supply constraints within this layer.

The Point of Convergence: Orbital Data Centers

SpaceX’s vision sits precisely at the intersection of these three layers in space. Space provides uninterrupted solar energy (Layer 3), while Starlink already delivers global connectivity (Layer 1). If computing power (Layer 2) can also be moved into orbit, the world’s limitations related to electricity, land availability, and cooling infrastructure could be fundamentally eliminated. While achieving the required computational scale will take time, the concept points toward a financially inevitable direction.

Financial Dynamics: Speculative Hype or Tangible Infrastructure?

Today, two core investment dynamics are competing in global markets:

Mega-Cap Speculation (Hype)

The extreme valuations attached to companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX. This channel is fueled primarily by passive fund inflows, FOMO (fear of missing out), and retail investor enthusiasm.

Infrastructure Boom

The tangible demand, long-term government and institutional contracts, and sustainable cash flows generated by the connectivity, computing, and energy layers.

Institutional and rational capital is focusing less on the first category, which carries significantly higher risk profiles, and more on the second category - the suppliers building the underlying infrastructure. Because whether SpaceX ultimately deploys orbital data centers or not, someone eventually will. In both scenarios, the winners will be the companies manufacturing the chips, supplying critical satellite components, and building the energy infrastructure.

Where Does the RUT Fund Stand in This Transformation?

The RUT Fund has made a clear and rational choice between these two paths in the technology market: rather than chasing the highly volatile momentum of moonshot companies with uncertain outcomes, it invests in the foundational infrastructure these companies depend on for success.

Our portfolio’s strategic allocation comprehensively covers all three layers discussed above:

Computing Infrastructure

Global semiconductor and GPU leaders such as Nvidia, TSMC, and Micron—the companies powering the brains of artificial intelligence—are represented within our portfolio.

Defense Technologies, Space, and Energy

We strengthen the global portfolio with companies such as Raytheon (RTX), L3Harris, and Lockheed Martin, which are leaders not only in defense technologies but also critical participants in space and energy infrastructure.

Domestic Strength and Regional Upside

We incorporate local growth potential through Aselsan, one of Türkiye’s flagship companies in space and defense technologies.

Connectivity Infrastructure

Through Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile, pioneers of next-generation satellite systems and launch technologies, we maintain direct exposure to the rapidly expanding space economy.

In summary, while the market debates SpaceX’s IPO valuation, the RUT Fund invests in the fundamental infrastructure that makes that valuation possible—the companies launching satellites into orbit, manufacturing the chips inside them, and protecting the systems that keep them operational.

Conclusion and the Vision We Follow for Our Investors

Two different future scenarios lie ahead:

Scenario A

A handful of moonshot companies such as SpaceX or OpenAI dominate entire markets. However, for this scenario to materialize, everything must go perfectly; there is virtually no room for error.

Scenario B (The Infrastructure Play)

Connectivity, semiconductor, and energy companies continue to grow steadily over the next 10–15 years (at an annual CAGR of approximately 15–20%) due to the sheer magnitude of demand. For this scenario to succeed, it is not necessary for any single company to win—only for the overall trend to continue expanding.

The RUT Fund operates with the security of Scenario B while keeping the upside potential of Scenario A open. For investors seeking a technology portfolio that is risk-optimized, fundamentally grounded, and positioned to build the future, RUT stands alongside its investors with the right strategy at the right time.
