Source: Insider According to sources familiar with the matter, the U.S. government is considering taking a stake in an artificial intelligence company.

BlockBeats News, June 6th, according to CCTV report, three sources familiar with the matter revealed that senior U.S. government officials have held preliminary discussions with large U.S. artificial intelligence companies to explore the possibility of government investment in these companies.

The sources said that since the start of U.S. President Trump's second term, Altman, CEO of the U.S. Open AI Research Center, has been regularly discussing this idea with senior government officials. Altman first proposed the concept to Trump in early 2025 and has recently discussed it again with senior government officials in the past few weeks, seeing it as a way to more broadly distribute the economic benefits of AI to the public.

It is reported that the focus of the discussion is to allow these companies to "voluntarily transfer shares to the government," and the investment returns can then be used for public purposes. However, the specific details of the plan are still being prepared and have not been finalized.
