Blue Origin, for the first time, is expected to raise private capital

Blue Origin announced its first external funding round on July 8, 2026, aiming to raise $10 billion with a $130 billion post-money valuation. This marks the first significant outside investment since its founding in 2000, with the company having been funded primarily through founder Jeff Bezos's personal wealth from Amazon stock sales. The round is led by hedge fund Coatue Management committing $4 billion, with Bezos contributing $2 billion personally and several major investors expected to provide the remaining $4 billion.
