The US President Donald Trump said he achieved $45 billion in revenue for the United States in just eight months, based on the sharp rise in the value of the US government's stake in Intel.

Trump posted on his "Truth Social" platform a chart showing that the US government bought Intel shares at $20 in August 2025, before rising to about $97 by April 2026, commenting: "I have made the United States a $45 billion profit in 8 months."

These gains are due to the deal in which the US government entered one of its largest industrial bets, investing about $8.9 billion for a nearly 9.9% stake in Intel, in an unprecedented move aimed at supporting America's largest chip manufacturer and strengthening the security of technological supply chains within the United States.

The deal involved converting part of the funding from the US Chips Act into a direct equity stake, instead of just traditional financial support, giving Washington a strategic foothold inside one of the world's most important semiconductor companies.

Although the jump increased the market value of the government's stake to tens of billions, these profits remain "on paper" and unrealized unless the shares are sold, meaning the gains recorded so far are still paper profits, despite their large size....
