This market will resolve to “Yes” if the U.S. federal government takes a stake in the listed company by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 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.The Trump administration has pursued an unprecedented series of equity stakes in private companies since early 2025, totaling over $20.9 billion across 15 deals in semiconductors like Intel, critical minerals firms such as USA Rare Earth and Lithium Americas, nuclear energy including Westinghouse, and steel, primarily via Commerce, Defense, Energy departments, and DFC authorities to secure domestic supply chains against China. Recent April 2026 developments include advanced bailout talks with Spirit Airlines offering up to a 90% government stake to avert liquidation, alongside Intel shares surging 22% post-earnings for a $26.5 billion unrealized gain on the U.S. position. Congressional Democrats seek oversight briefings on these investments. Traders anticipate further interventions in AI, quantum computing, defense contractors, and pharma by December 31, 2026 resolution, reflecting strategic national security priorities amid ongoing industrial policy shifts.
