Blue Origin's bold vision seems like something from a science fiction movie. The company envisions a time when millions of people will live and work in space for the benefit of Earth.
Amazon (AMZN +1.53%) founder Jeff Bezos is behind the company's ambitious vision. He founded Blue Origin in 2000. It's one of Bezos' many investments.
The company is a long way from achieving its vision. Its current focus is on aerospace manufacturing and providing space services. It also has a space tourism business.
The sky is the limit for Blue Origin. That has many investors eagerly anticipating its initial public offering (IPO). Here's a guide to everything you need to know about how to invest in Blue Origin ahead of its eventual IPO.
Is Blue Origin publicly traded?
Blue Origin is a privately held company. It doesn't trade publicly on major stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.
When will Blue Origin IPO?
As of late 2025, Blue Origin didn't have an IPO on the calendar. The company also had yet to announce plans to go public. Bezos currently prefers to keep his space company private.

Is Blue Origin profitable?
Privately held companies like Blue Origin don't need to disclose their financial data publicly. As a result, there isn't currently much publicly available information on Blue Origin's revenue or profitability.
It likely isn't profitable yet. Founder Jeff Bezos said in late 2024 that his space company “is not a very good business yet.” The company took a notable step to improve as a business in early 2025 by launching a sizable layoff.
Although Blue Origin isn't making money yet, Bezos sees a bright future. “I think it’s going to be the best business that I’ve ever been involved in, but it’s going to take a while,” he said in 2024. That immense promise is what has investors so excited by its potential IPO.
How to invest in the space sector through ETFs
Since Blue Origin isn't a publicly traded company, investors can't gain passive exposure to its stock by investing in an exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The bottom line
Blue Origin has a bold vision of supporting millions of people living and working in space to benefit the planet. The company is working toward achieving that mission by building a space services and tourism company that's becoming a major revenue generator. Its profits could skyrocket as it continues to press forward, making it an interesting potential IPO to watch.
