Total funding

Third-party database · 27 Aug 2026

stockanalysis.com's own cumulative tally across its recorded funding rounds for this company, read 2026-08-27. The individual citation attached to this figure on the page is for the LATEST round only (the most recent round) and does not itself state the cumulative total — flagged and excluded rather than treated as verifying the sum.

Valuation

Regulatory filing · 14 Aug 2026

SpaceX Form 8-K (Item 2.01, Completion of Acquisition of Anysphere), SEC, 2026-08-14: "based on an implied equity value of Cursor of $60.0 billion." Implied equity value in an all-stock acquisition, not a priced funding round -- the prior note's "post-money valuation of the round" wording was carried over from before this field was re-cited to the 8-K and no longer describes what happened.
