Blue Origin reportedly raising first-ever outside funding round, $10B at $130B valuation
38% confidenceBlue Origin is reportedly raising its first-ever external funding round, seeking roughly $10 billion at a valuation of about $130 billion, with Bezos personally contributing approximately $2 billion of the round and Coatue Management contributing roughly $4 billion, according to people familiar with the matter; the round would end Blue Origin's status as a wholly Bezos-owned company for the first time since its 2000 founding.
Reported by Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter; neither Bezos nor Blue Origin had confirmed the round's terms, size, or investor list on the record, so figures remain unconfirmed leaks rather than an announced deal.
