SpaceX Offering Draws BlackRock-Related Subscription Orders That May Reach $75 Billion

According to The Information, BlackRock discussed investing $5 billion to $10 billion in a SpaceX IPO that could raise as much as $75 billion next month.

Fact Check
The claim is well-supported by The Information article (published May 16, 2026), which is the original cited source and directly reports BlackRock weighing a multibillion-dollar investment in SpaceX's IPO. The Bitget News summary explicitly confirms the $5-10 billion BlackRock investment range and the $75 billion IPO raise target. The KuCoin article corroborates the $50-75 billion raise range and June 2026 timing. X posts from @WatcherGuru and @Kalshi on the same date further amplify the same figures. The claim's framing of 'subscription orders that may reach $75 billion' is a slight editorial interpretation of the underlying reporting (which frames $75B as the IPO raise target), but the core facts — BlackRock discussing $5-10B investment, IPO potentially raising $75B, targeting June 2026 — are all accurately reflected. The only caveat is that The Information notes talks are ongoing with no final decisions made, meaning the investment is not yet confirmed.
