The Trump administration has expanded U.S. industrial policy by converting grants and loans into equity stakes in strategic sectors, including a 10 percent holding in Intel converted from CHIPS Act funding in 2025 and a 15 percent stake in MP Materials via the Defense Department. Additional positions include an 8-16 percent interest in USA Rare Earth announced in January 2026 and a golden share in U.S. Steel that grants veto rights over major decisions. These moves reflect priorities around supply-chain resilience, critical minerals independence from China, and support for domestic semiconductor and defense manufacturing. Congress has broadened authorities under the Defense Production Act and increased the Development Finance Corporation’s equity capacity, creating pathways for further investments in defense contractors and advanced technology firms before the end of 2026. Trader assessments hinge on the pace of new deals in these areas and any legislative codification of the equity approach.

Takes a stake refers to the U.S. federal government acquiring direct equity ownership, voting shares, convertible rights treated as equity, or equivalent ownership interests in the listed company or of a legal vehicle that primarily owns the listed company. Stakes acquired through independent entities entirely controlled or owned by the U.S. federal government (e.g. a sovereign wealth fund, state-owned enterprise, etc.) will count. Non-equity financial instruments or stakes acquired by private persons or entities not owned or controlled by the US federal government will not count; acquisitions by by states, pensions, index or mutual funds, or consortia will not qualify.
An official US federal government announcement of a completed qualifying acquisition, or of a binding agreement to complete a qualifying acquisition, within this market’s timeframe will be sufficient to resolve this market to “Yes”. Speculation, suggestions, plans, or other announcements which do not announce a completed acquisition or a binding acquisition agreement, however, will not count.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the US federal government and a consensus of credible reporting.
