Trump Secures $10 Billion Stake in Intel for U.S.
President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell that could reshape America’s tech future.According to the Daily Caller, Trump announced on Friday, August 24, 2025, that the U.S. government will grab a 10% equity stake in Intel, valued at around $10 billion, as part of a deal linked to CHIPS Act grants for boosting domestic manufacturing.
This isn’t just a handshake agreement; it’s a calculated move to anchor America’s semiconductor industry. The stake, estimated at $10-11 billion by current market prices, aligns with funds Intel was already slated to receive for building plants on U.S. soil.
“The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 billion,” Trump boasted on Truth Social. Well, that’s a deal most investors would salivate over, but let’s not pretend this is just a Wall Street win—it’s a power move to keep critical tech in American hands.
Trump also declared, “Building leading-edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation.”
From tech to steel, Trump’s team is weaving government influence into corporate America like never before. Some call it strategic; others might say it’s a slippery slope. And Intel stock is up as is the Stock Market.
Take Nvidia, for instance—the administration recently greenlit sales of H20 chips to China, but only after securing 15% of the revenue for the government.
