A White House official clarified that the Trump administration has no plans to take equity stakes in major semiconductor companies like Micron Technology and TSMC, despite considering such measures for other firms receiving CHIPS Act funds. This statement addresses concerns about potential government ownership in leading chip manufacturers.
The administration's focus remains on supporting companies that are significantly boosting U.S. investments in semiconductor manufacturing. This clarification provides reassurance to investors that direct government equity intervention is not on the table for companies like Micron that are already committing substantial capital to domestic operations.
This policy stance is important for maintaining investor confidence and predictability in the semiconductor industry, particularly for companies undertaking large-scale expansions in the United States. It delineates the nature of government support under the CHIPS Act, emphasizing grants and incentives over equity participation for established industry leaders.
