The Trump administration has pursued direct equity stakes in strategic U.S. companies since mid-2025, including Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, and a rare earths miner in January 2026, to bolster semiconductors, critical minerals, and manufacturing amid competition with China. No new federal stakes have been announced in the past 30 days, leaving trader consensus focused on potential expansions into defense contractors like Boeing or Anduril, AI developers such as OpenAI or Anthropic, and semiconductors like TSMC, driven by national security priorities. Upcoming defense budget votes, executive orders, and Commerce Department actions could catalyze developments before the market's year-end resolution.

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.
