Got $1,000? Here's What an Intel Investment Made the Day the U.S. Government Took Its Stake Would Be Worth Today.
It's been a profitable investment for Washington.
The U.S. government made a significant investment in chipmaker Intel during President Donald Trump's second term. In June 2025, the administration converted $5.7 billion in unpaid grants from the CHIPS Act and $3.2 billion in Secure Enclave program grants into a direct purchase of Intel shares. This resulted in the U.S. acquiring a 9.9% equity stake in Intel, with 433.3 million shares valued at $20.47 per share.
Fast forward to the present day, and Intel stock has soared to just over $101 per share. This substantial increase in stock price has amplified the value of the government's investment by an impressive 395%, transforming the $8.9 billion stake into a current worth of $43.9 billion.
