U.S. Government Equity Stakes by Company

Federal funding or investment announced in the deals that give the U.S. government an equity stake, by company, $ millions

Intel leads at $8.90B
Current·Data to Oct 2026

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Palanor calculation from federal releases, company releases and SEC filings. The amount is the grant, award or investment the deal names, not the value of the stake; letters of intent are included. Stakes with no announced amount (warrants for loan changes, a golden share, a participation interest, a stake granted at no cost) are not drawn.

Every company where the U.S. government has announced an equity stake that comes with a dollar amount, ranked by that amount: CHIPS Act grants and research awards turned into shares, Department of War preferred stock, and a joint venture in a zinc smelter. The largest, Intel’s, is CHIPS Act grants converted into shares rather than new spending.
