# Lithium Americas **Lithium Americas** is the developer of Thacker Pass in northern Nevada, one of the largest known lithium deposits in the United States and a central asset in the domestic battery supply chain. The [[Department of Energy]] took an equity position in the company in 2025 — reported as roughly **5% via warrants**, plus a further ~5% interest in the joint venture Lithium Americas operates with General Motors. Some coverage combines these into a single "10% stake," which is why the figure appears inconsistently across trackers. The position is one of the critical-minerals entries on the [[Government Equity Stakes Roster]]. This is a stub — expand with the Thacker Pass permitting fight, the tribal and environmental litigation, the GM offtake structure, and the precise warrant terms. ## See Also - [[Government Equity Stakes Roster]] - [[Critical Minerals]] - [[American State Capitalism]]
