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).

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