Hedge fund Coatue Management is putting in roughly $4 billion, Bezos himself is contributing $2 billion, and other large investors are covering the remainder.\n\nFor 25 years Blue Origin ran almost entirely on Bezos's personal wealth. The shift to outside capital comes weeks after rival SpaceX raised nearly $86 billion in an IPO at a $1.75 trillion valuation, underscoring how far behind Blue Origin still trails its main competitor despite the fresh cash.\n\nThe raise also follows a setback: Blue Origin's flagship New Glenn rocket exploded during testing in late May. The company says the new funding will help stabilize New Glenn's launch cadence while it also pushes into space-based data centers and a satellite internet network called Terawave."}}
