Group 2: Formation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund - These disparate investments are coalescing into a substantive sovereign wealth fund, as noted by experts [3]. - Unlike traditional sovereign funds established by countries with large cash surpluses, the Trump administration's investments are being executed by a coalition of different agencies [3]. - There are speculations that these assets may eventually be integrated into a more conventional fund framework, as the White House has already proposed plans for establishing a sovereign wealth fund [3].

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government has acquired a 9.9% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion, becoming its largest shareholder, with the aim of preventing Intel from selling its foundry business and promoting domestic chip manufacturing [1][4]. Group 1: Government Investment and Strategy - The investment of $8.9 billion from the U.S. government, along with a previous $2 billion from SoftBank, is insufficient to meet Intel's capital expenditure needs, especially for the next-generation 1.8nm process chip factory [2][7]. - Intel's current cash and short-term investments total $21.2 billion, with a quarterly operating cash flow of only $2 billion and negative free cash flow for seven consecutive quarters [2][7]. - The U.S. government aims to ensure that important companies align with national strategic interests, which may not necessarily coincide with the companies' economic benefits [5][6]. Group 2: Intel's Business Challenges - Intel faces two choices: either sell or partially sell its foundry business and forfeit government subsidies, or accept the government's investment while seeking additional funding to continue its chip manufacturing efforts [2][3]. - Despite the government's support, Intel has struggled to find external customers for its foundry business, with most of its capacity being used for internal production [2][3]. - The government has committed not to interfere in Intel's daily management but will have significant influence over its strategic direction [4][5]. Group 3: Broader Implications for the Industry - The U.S. government may consider investing in more companies beyond the chip sector, as part of a strategy to establish a "sovereign wealth fund" [3][4]. - The current environment is characterized by a "three-legged" competition among TSMC, Samsung, and Intel in the logic chip manufacturing sector, with the potential for several winners emerging from increased investments in U.S. chip production [6][7]. - The government's investment strategy reflects a shift towards ensuring that critical industries remain in the U.S., potentially extending to sectors like renewable energy and aerospace [5][6].

来源：环球市场播报 哈塞特强调，政府不会干预企业运营，但同时表示，此次持股是一项持续推进计划的环节之一。 美国国家经济委员会（NEC）主任哈塞特在接受采访时表示："嗯，我认为这是一个非常、非常特殊的 情况，因为《芯片与科学法案》将带来巨额支出。但总统早在竞选期间就明确表示，他认为如果美国最 终能着手建立一只主权财富基金，那将是一件大好事。所以我确信，未来某个时候一定会有更多此类交 易 —— 即便不在芯片行业，也会涉及其他行业。" 今年 2 月初，特朗普签署行政令，启动主权财富基金的筹建工作。主权财富基金这一机制主要由拥有丰 富自然资源的小国采用，这些资源会作为交易的资金后盾。根据主权财富基金研究所（Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute）的数据，挪威的主权财富基金规模居全球首位，资产约达 1.8 万亿美元；中东多 个国家也拥有大型主权财富基金。 哈塞特表示，尽管美国政府大规模持有企业股份的做法并不常见，但并非没有先例。他以金融危机后政 府持有房利美（Fannie Mae）和房地美（Freddie Mac）股份为例进行说明。 美国总统特朗普于周一就政府新持有英特尔股份一事表示自豪，并宣称 ...

白宫国家经济委员会主任哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）在8月25日表示，联邦政府可能会仿效对芯片制造商英特尔的股权投资模式入股更多企业，并将涉足更多 领域，而不仅仅是芯片。 哈塞特同时强调，入股英特尔属于非常特殊的个案，这笔近90亿美元的补贴资金原本是2022年拜登政府《芯片法案》的组成部分，该资金将转为股权形式， 未来政府不会获得投票权也不会介入公司经营。 此类交易可能成为美国主权财富基金计划的重要组成部分。全球最知名的主权财富基金主要来自北欧和中东等坐拥丰富自然资源的较小体量国家，主要用于 管理外汇储备、财政盈余等公共资产。 就在3天前，英特尔公司宣布与联邦政府达成协议，后者将向英特尔普通股投资89亿美元，以每股20.47美元的价格收购4.333亿股英特尔普通股，相当于该公 司9.9%的股份。 协议达成后，联邦政府成为英特尔的最大股东。根据协议，剩余约109亿美元的联邦补贴将转换为股权英特尔已获批109亿美元（约合783亿元人民币）的 《芯片法案》拨款，主要用于商业及军用芯片产能建设。 商务部长卢特尼克当时在社交媒体上写到，英特尔是美国顶尖科技企业之一。这份协议将巩固美国在半导体领域的领先地位和技术优 ...
