The U.S. government's investment in chip companies is rumored to have a new proposal: "exchange subsidies for shares."

The US government's plan to invest in chip companies is rumored to have a new twist. The Wall Street Journal reported on the 22nd that the US government currently has no plans to invest in companies that are already increasing their investment in the US, such as TSMC and Micron. However, companies that have not committed to increasing their investment may need to sell equity in exchange for subsidies provided by the "Chip and Science Act". The report quoted a White House official as saying that the US government is considering investing in companies to receive subsidies from the "Chip and Science Act" in 2022, but does not plan to seek investment in large semiconductor companies that are already increasing their investments in the US. According to Bloomberg, Micron has promised to invest $200 billion in the US, and TSMC has also committed to reinvesting $100 billion.
