TikTok will sell half its U.S. business to Oracle-led investors, keeping a minority stake amid regulatory pressure.

TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has signed binding agreements with American investors Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX to sell a 50% stake in TikTok’s U.S. operations. The new U.S. joint venture will allocate 15% stakes each to Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, a 30.1% share to existing ByteDance investors, and ByteDance will keep a 19.9% stake. This move aims to resolve U.S. regulatory concerns about data security and national security risks associated with Chinese ownership. The deal is expected to close on January 22, 2026, securing TikTok's continued operation in the U.S. market.
