Beware of pump and dump idiots showing up.

Do whatcha might will with buying or selling VCX. But there are a bunch of morons now like BagsofBabbish, BriefHistorical and Prestigious-Land etc shit posting and scaring people. There are also older posts from last week that looked like pumps. I think most people are adult enough to realize but no need to engage with these losers.

There are multiple SEC approved listed funds with Anthropic shares.

Flagship now at $14.95...up from $12.13

Big congrats to everyone who correctly identified Flagship as a way to keep rolling with the VCX gains!

I'd love to see an explainer from Fundrise on the mechanics and calculations...perhaps once all the unrestricted VCX shares held by Flagship are sold.

How do existing shareholders benefit if VCX issues new shares?

We are now at (or will soon arrive at) the part in the game where we hope VCX will issue more shares. Big ups to u/BurnsVail and others who have been tracking the sales out of Flagship.

Why is this important? Because as of today VCX is trading at roughly a 10x premium to NAV, assuming a fresh NAV along the lines of $25 per share. When a closed-end fund sells new shares at a price above current NAV, each new share brings in cash that exceeds the per-share claim on existing assets, so total assets rise faster than share count -- making the issuance accretive to existing shareholders. In other words, existing shareholders can make a lot of money if the new shares are issued at a significant premium to NAV. 

There are currently 28.3 million shares of VCX. If Fundrise decides to do a primary issuance for an additional 10%, that would be 2.83 million new shares. At the current share price of say $250, that would be an additional $708 million (!) in cash flowing into VCX. Once the 2.83 million shares were sold, the NAV would jump from $25 to $45. I guess we should factor in fees as well. I’ll put the Claude math in the comments. 

  • Is there demand for an additional 2.83 million shares? 
    • Yes, Flagship just off-loaded 2.73 million shares and it hasn’t dented the enthusiasm, with the price at a significant premium to NAV.

     

  • Does Fundrise have the ability to choose and get access to the best private companies to invest another $708 million? 
    • Based on their track record, I am confident they can.

      

  • Is there some magic number of shares that Fundrise should sell to maximize their profit? 10%? 20%? More? 
    • I don’t know. Is there dilution-risk at some point to existing shareholders?
  • How long would it take them to issue new shares? Could they sell an additional 10% before lock-up ends in Sept? 
    • I assume they could sell them within a couple months without denting the price, as that’s exactly what Flagship just did and it looks like the pre-IPO frenzy is increasing.
  • What happens if the price of VCX drops after September 16th? 
    • Irrelevant, assuming the new 2.83 million shares are sold before lock-up expires. The increased NAV would already be set.

     

  • What are the worst case scenarios of issuing more shares? 
    • VCX price could precipitously drop to below NAV – existing shareholders would be diluted AND their original holdings would be worth less. Very unlikely. 
    • Fundrise can’t access enough new promising private companies or buy into new funding rounds for existing portfolio companies to soak up the new $708 million. Their alternative would be to hold the funds in less lucrative options until opportunities arose. I suppose they could also issue the excess cash to existing shareholders as dividends, if sentiment really turned against AI, etc. Although knowing Ben’s contrarian streak, I think he would zig when others were zagging.

So what’s the play for us if they issue new shares? I don’t think it changes much. If you were lucky/smart enough to acquire restricted shares, sit back and enjoy the ride. If the price dips significantly, consider picking up more. I’m sure those that are comfortable with options can work some serious magic here, but I certainly don’t advocate that for beginners. Totally open to all ideas on how to profit from Fundrise’s hard work.

Innovation fund early investor

I originally invested $2,500 into the innovation fund through Fundrise in August of 2023 before the fund went public as VCX, now I have about 250 shares of VCX valued at about $190.99 as of 5/10/26. I wonder how much upside I can see in the future.

Best way to hedge

Like many of you I have many restricted shares. With options open has anyone found a decent way to hedge? I have sold a few bear credit spreads but already hit max loss. Anything you're playing?

this fund is literally as bad as a leveraged etf. it holds no value correlation to the private shares it’s supposed to represent. its nav is exponentially higher than its under value and will always trade that way. good luck!

for day trading and fun its great. but of all the wild etfs you could invest in, and I do think there are some cool ones, this one needs to be delisted!

Anthropic x SpaceX Deal

Omg, THIS is why VCX is going nuts!! What I always thought was weird why VCX had such a large holding in Anthropic is now turning into the biggest thing EVER for this fund!! This now essentially gives added exposure to SpaceX within the fund, besides the already 5% exposure. Now Anthropic is the exclusive AI network for SpaceX!!!

This fund is going to go crazy now that it doubled its OpenAi position and now also might even double its SpaceX position!!

Right moment to sell unrestricted shares?

Missed the first price hike just after the listing. Is now the right time to sell my unrestricted shares?

Put Options

I know the premium for puts is very expensive right now but the break evens for some of the strike prices is still around $100 per share. If the question was strictly about price, that would be high enough for me to hedge some of my shares. The question is, are we allowed to hedge restricted shares with puts? Is there an official contract that Fundrise would have sent us? I’m not aware of communications of this nature from them. Other relevant rules?

Restricted Shares.

Has anyone successfully moved their restricted shares from Computershare to their personal brokerage like Etrade or Vanguard? Or do we need to wait until September to move them?

FCC approves EchoStar sales of 65 megahertz spectrum to SpaceX, 50 megahertz to AT&T

https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/fcc-approves-echostar-sales-65-megahertz-spectrum-spacex-50-megahertz-att-2026-05-12/

I have been long SATS for a while and added to my position after this. Market hasn't budged, I have listened to their conference calls and read the earnings reports. Still a good time if this makes sense to you. I hold calls for July and some stock. For reference this came out around 2:55 pm EST May 12th.

VCX: What will happen when the lock-up period ends?

When the lock-up period ends for those of us holding restricted shares, do you think most people will sell? If so, how much of an impact do you expect it to have on the price?

Personally, I’m holding. I don’t really see a point in selling right away. If things go well, this could be a strong long-term opportunity over the next 2–3 years.

What do you all think? Are you planning to sell or hold?
