Is EchoStar invested in SpaceX?
EchoStar is not directly invested in SpaceX as an equity holder in the traditional sense, but the two companies have significant commercial ties. As of 2025, EchoStar signed a deal to receive SpaceX shares as part of a major spectrum sale agreement. This agreement involves EchoStar selling spectrum to SpaceX for nearly $20 billion in cash and stock, which provides a path for EchoStar to gain exposure to SpaceX’s future direct-to-device (D2D) system and potentially other SpaceX offerings.
