Vy Capital disclosed that it holds $40 billion in SpaceX shares, becoming the fifth largest shareholder

According to the Financial Times, the low-profile venture capital firm Vy Capital currently holds approximately $40 billion worth of SpaceX shares, with a stake of about 3.4%. According to Bloomberg data, the firm has become the fifth-largest shareholder of SpaceX, disclosing a holding size larger than that of Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. Vy Capital first invested in SpaceX in 2016 when the company's valuation was around $15 billion; after SpaceX went public this year with a valuation of about $1.75 trillion, the value of its holdings has significantly increased.Vy Capital is also the largest external investor in Elon Musk's tunnel company The Boring Company and brain-computer interface company Neuralink, and had committed $700 million for Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022. The firm's head, John Hering, has a close relationship with Musk, having invested over $100 million in SpaceX shortly after the Falcon 9 rocket launch failure in 2016; since 2019, he has also been involved in the early business development of Starlink, including hiring personnel and building financial models, and has held a SpaceX employee badge. Currently, Hering serves as a director of The Boring Company, and Vy Capital also participated in the company's recent $3 billion financing round.Vy Capital's assets under management have increased from $27 billion at the end of last year to $50 billion in June of this year. In a letter to investors, the firm stated that since its establishment in 2014, it has achieved a total internal rate of return of 41% and has distributed $4.6 billion to investors. Vy Capital expects that if investment judgments materialize, SpaceX's valuation will exceed $10 trillion in the next 5 to 7 years. The firm currently has only a few dozen employees, with a core investment team of four, and has stopped accepting external investors since last year.

Former U.S. President Biden's son Hunter Biden is about to launch the meme coin LAPTOP, and some cryptocurrency traders have questioned his personal experiences and motives for the launch. Hunter Biden was convicted in 2024 on three felony gun charges and admitted to nine tax charges, subsequently receiving a full pardon from his father, former U.S. President Biden.Hunter Biden previously testified under oath that he owed his former law firm Winston & Strawn approximately $17 million. The firm sued him last year for unpaid legal fees, and his lawyer stated in April that he resides overseas and is "unable to pay." Hunter himself had previously stated that he entered the cryptocurrency industry out of interest in the technology and "wanted to make some money."Recently, Hunter Biden has publicly supported the cryptocurrency industry multiple times, stating that "decentralized digital currency and blockchain are the inevitable future," and when asked about his views on cryptocurrency, he directly replied "Hyperliquid." He also expressed a desire to put his artwork on the blockchain and accept Bitcoin payments, mentioning that Andreas Antonopoulos's book "The Internet of Money" had "opened his eyes." Additionally, he stated that he has not yet decided whether to run in the 2028 U.S. presidential election, but said that if he receives support from billionaire John Catsimatidis, he "might have to run."
