May 16 (Reuters) - BlackRock ⁠has discussed investing $5 billion to $10 ⁠billion in SpaceX's initial public offering ‌next month, the Information news outlet reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.

SpaceX is ​targeting a raise of about $75 ⁠billion at a ⁠valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion, potentially making it ⁠the biggest-ever ‌stock market flotation.

BlackRock declined to comment. SpaceX did not respond ⁠to a request for comment.

BlackRock would ​invest in ‌SpaceX from its $536 billion of actively ⁠managed funds, ​the report added.

The final amount that the asset manager ultimately offers to invest ⁠could change based on how ​SpaceX prices its IPO and other factors leading up to the deal, as per ⁠the Information.

Reuters reported this week that SpaceX is aiming to list its shares as early as June 12 and ​has picked the Nasdaq ⁠as the trading venue for its blockbuster ​market debut.

Reuters could not ‌immediately verify the Information report.
