US to take 10% equity stake in Intel in Trump’s latest corporate move
Business World Philippines
|August 25, 2025
President Donald J. Trump said on Friday the US would take a 10% stake in Intel under a deal with the struggling chip-maker that converts government grants into an equity share, the latest extraordinary intervention by the White House in corporate America.
-
The deal puts Mr. Trump on better terms with Intel Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lip-Bu Tan, after the President recently said the CEO should step down due to conflicts of interest. It will ensure that the chipmaker will receive about $10 billion in funds for building or expanding factories in the US.
Under the agreement, the US will purchase a 9.9% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion, or $20.47 per share, which represents a discount of about $4 from Intel’s closing share price of $24.80 on Friday.
The purchase of the 433.3 million Intel shares will be made with funding from the $5.7 billion in unpaid grants from the Biden-era CHIPS Act and $3.2 billion awarded to Intel for the Secure Enclave program, also awarded under Mr. Trump's predecessor, Democratic President Joseph R. Biden.
Intel stock rose roughly 1% in the extended session on Friday after closing up 5.5% during regular trading.
