SoftBank Buys $2 Billion In Intel Stock Days After Trump Admin Considers 10% Stake
SoftBank Group is making a surprise $2 billion investment in struggling chipmaker Intel, buying shares at $23 apiece. The move comes just days after the White House began exploring a 10% stake in Intel, mirroring the U.S.-Nippon Steel deal and MP Materials, where the federal government secured "golden shares."
Bloomberg first reported the SoftBank deal to purchase $2 billion worth of Intel shares at $23 apiece. The news sent Intel up 6% in New York premarket trading, pushing shares into the $25 handle. Year-to-date, the stock is up 18% after bottoming near $20 - this is a level not seen since 2013. Shares last peaked above $64 in 2021.
"For more than 50 years, Intel has been a trusted leader in innovation," SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son wrote in a statement. He added, "This strategic investment reflects our belief that advanced semiconductor manufacturing and supply will further expan...

Trump Admin Discussing A 10% Stake In Intel
Extending the similarities to it recent deal with rare earth miner MP Materials, Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel, in a move that could see the US become the chipmaker's largest shareholder, something which we correctly advised our readers would take place a little over a week ago.
The Pentagon took a stake in US rare earth miner MP Materials... when will it do the same with Intel
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) August 7, 2025
The federal government is considering a potential investment in Intel that would involve converting some or all of the company's grants from the US Chips and Science Act into equity, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is confidential. Intel has been slated to receive a combined $10.9 billion in Chips Act grants for commercial and military production.
That figure is roughly enough to pay for the targeted holding. At Inte...

Intel Soars On Report US Government To Buy Stake In Chip Giant
One week ago, in the immediate aftermath of the Trump vs Intel snafu (which lasted just a few days, until Lip-Bu Tan showed up at the White House and became BFFs with Trump), we said that it is likely that the US government would take a stake in Intel, the same way it the Defense Department did with MP Minerals (a move which we also correctly predicted), becoming the largest shareholder in the rare earth minerals company.

We were right.
According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration is in talks with Intel Corp. to have the US government potentially take a stake in the beleaguered chipmaker, helping support the company's effort to expand domestic manufacturing, according to people familiar with the plan who may have been keeping a close eye on our X account in recent days.
The deal...

Rare Earths Rally After Department Of Defense Sets A Price Floor
By Metal Miner
The global rare earth metals market has seen a whirlwind of developments in the past few weeks, sending ripples through both supply chains and pricing. A series of U.S. and Chinese policy moves, from Washington's unprecedented price support for rare earth magnets to Beijing's export curbs, continue to reshape this critical sector.
U.S. Sets New Rare Earth Price Floor to Challenge China's Dominance
The United States recently escalated its efforts to reduce dependence on China by directly intervening in pricing. In mid-July, the Department of Defense struck a multi-billion-dollar deal with MP Materials, America's sole rare earth miner, guaranteeing a minimum price of $110 per kilogram for neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) oxide.
That price floor, which is nearly double the current China-based market rate of around $60/kg, aims to incentivize domestic production of the super-strong magnets used in EV motors, wind tur...
