We are creating the cms static block in our installer script. We use block factory to create static block.

namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallSchemaInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\SchemaSetupInterface;
use Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\Table;

class InstallSchema implements InstallSchemaInterface {
private $blockFactory;

public function __construct(
\Magento\Cms\Model\BlockFactory $blockFactory
)
{

$this->blockFactory = $blockFactory;
}
public function install( SchemaSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context ) {
$installer = $setup;

$installer->startSetup();

$testBlock = [
'title' => 'Test block title',
'identifier' => 'test-block',
'stores' => [0],
‘Content’ => ‘Your content here’
'is_active' => 1,
];
$this->blockFactory->create()->setData($testBlock)->save();

$installer->endSetup();
}
}
