Yes, Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit would estimate a star around 1.5-2.5 sun masses could result in a stellar black hole. We don't know much about stars collapsing, and the mass wasted in the process to have a more accurate number at this point.

That's only true for black holes created from the collapse of stars. Primordial black holes would have been created in the early universe and be much much smaller.
