I think you'll find the USG is only holding those shares temporarily and they will be transferred to ... someone ... just before January 20th, 2029.

I understand the cynicism but there isn't going to be a plausible legal route to do that. No, all these corporate stakes are just going to hang on bizarrely in the government until someone sells them off again.

Although, I guess, you can't really just dump a 10% stake in Intel overnight without causing problems, can you. Geez what a mess.

Someone could make a decent amount by buying a short the day before the dump...
