The United States is set to invest $1.6 billion in USA Rare Earth, acquiring a 10% stake to bolster domestic production of critical minerals and reduce dependence on China. The investment includes 16.1 million shares and warrants for an additional 17.6 million shares, with the company developing a mine in Texas and a neo magnet facility in Oklahoma, projected to begin operations in 2026. This initiative aligns with broader U.S. efforts to secure strategic minerals for national defense and the semiconductor supply chain.
