The catalyst for the surge was a report that the Trump administration is seeking up to a 10% equity stake in LAC's Thacker Pass lithium project as part of a DOE loan renegotiation Golden Cross Alert: Lithium Americas Rockets 90%+ As Trump Eyes 10% Stake^[1]. Bloomberg first reported the DOE's reevaluation of LAC's $2.3 billion loan, citing concerns over cheaper Chinese lithium. Reuters subsequently revealed the administration's intent to secure equity and require GM, the sole Phase 1 offtaker, to relinquish some control over the project Golden Cross Alert: Lithium Americas Rockets 90%+ As Trump Eyes 10% Stake^[1].

JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson noted that GM's buy-in offers support for Thacker Pass' continued development but cautioned that the details of any revised loan or offtake agreements remain unclear Golden Cross Alert: Lithium Americas Rockets 90%+ As Trump Eyes 10% Stake^[1].

On the charts, LAC triggered a Golden Cross with its 50- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) underpinning the bullish case. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) is at 0.31, while the RSI (relative strength index) has risen to an overbought level of 86.5.

The Lithium Americas saga highlights a broader trend: the U.S. government appears increasingly willing to take direct equity stakes in companies vital to domestic supply chains, particularly where China dominates. Peterson sees this as a potential template for other DOE-backed firms like Plug Power Inc (PLUG) or EVgo Inc (EVGO), though strategic importance will likely dictate which companies are next Golden Cross Alert: Lithium Americas Rockets 90%+ As Trump Eyes 10% Stake^[1].

Lithium Americas' moonshot underscores the collision of policy, retail momentum, and technical bullishness.
