Blue Origin Secures $10B in External Funding at $130B Valuation

Blue Origin has reportedly secured $10 billion in external funding at a valuation of $130 billion, although there's been no public confirmation as of July 8, 2026. The space company was previously funded almost exclusively by founder Jeff Bezos' personal wealth and Amazon stock sales.

The shift towards outside investment began in May 2026, when CEO Dave Limp discussed the possibility with employees during an internal meeting. Bezos later confirmed that Blue Origin was open to external investors, but declined to provide further details.

The $130 billion valuation is higher than analyst estimates, which had predicted a first-round valuation of around $100 billion. The company's foray into accepting cryptocurrency payments in August 2025 may be one factor contributing to the increased valuation.
