The US government has recorded an unrealized gain of $44 billion on its Intel investment just 13 months after acquiring a 9.9% stake. The position, established on August 22, 2025, with the purchase of 433.3 million shares at $20.47 each for a total of $8.9 billion, is now valued at approximately $52.9 billion. Intel shares currently trade at $121.78, representing a nearly 495% increase from the government's entry price. This substantial appreciation highlights the dramatic performance of the semiconductor giant since the federal equity investment was finalized last year.
