Getting stock in exchange of grants makes more sense than "pure" grants.

This stock can later be sold, to benefit the taxpayer.

that's not a grant. That's just buying stocks.

    It's effectively a grant. The US government isn't buying existing shares. Intel is issuing new shares and selling them to the US government - so actual money is being transferred to Intel (and existing shares are being diluted as a result).

      That's just buying stocks (at-the-market offering).

        Nope.

        When I buy stocks at market price, the company gets none of my money.

        When the company issues new stocks and sells them, the company gets the money.
