The article is vague about who or what is taking the 10% stake. The writer alternated between the US government, the Commerce Department, and Trump himself. A Trump quote has Trump himself as the owner.

This is an editing problem. Specifics are important in this case.

> Intel admitted that the deal will dilute investors' stock due to the discounted shares issued to Trump. And their shares could suffer additional dilutions if certain terms of the deal are "triggered" or "exercised," Intel noted.

Well that's no way to inspire confidence amongst investors.
