BlackRock Considers Multi-Billion Dollar Investment in SpaceX IPO

BLK BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with over $11 trillion in AUM, is eyeing a potential $5 billion to $10 billion investment in SPCX SpaceX's historic IPO,,,. The investment would come from BlackRock's actively managed funds and would represent one of the largest single-fund commitments to an IPO in history, according to reports from The Information.

SpaceX filed a confidential draft S-1 with the SEC on April 1, 2026 and is targeting a $75 billion capital raise at a $1.75 trillion valuation — which would make it the largest IPO in U.S. history. A new NASDAQ "Fast Entry" rule adopted in March 2026 would allow SpaceX to qualify for Nasdaq-100 index inclusion as early as 15 trading days post-IPO if its market cap clears roughly $100 billion, potentially forcing index funds to absorb an estimated $7 billion in shares on a single day .

The timing is complicated by a separate legal cloud: federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are probing the valuation practices of BlackRock TCP Capital, a private credit fund, following the fund's controversial decision in January 2026 to slash asset values by approximately 19%,. BlackRock has not been charged with any wrongdoing. Analysts and investors will be watching whether the DOJ probe influences BLK's risk appetite ahead of the SpaceX roadshow, expected the week of June 8.
