The news is old, but the financial revelation is new. We now have a clearer picture of the investors behind the restructuring of TikTok’s U.S. business — and reports say the U.S. government will ultimately receive about $10 billion from investors as part of the deal.
TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, based in Culver City, California, was established on January 22, 2026, to operate TikTok and other ByteDance-owned services in the United States. The new venture is majority-owned by investors other than ByteDance, which retains a 19.9 percent stake.
Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based MGX each hold 15 percent. The remaining 35.1 percent is held by a consortium of other investors, including Michael Dell’s family office, Vastmere Strategic Investments, Alpha Wave Partners, Revolution, Merritt Way, Via Nova, Virgo LI and France-based NJJ Capital.
The transaction has been associated with a reported valuation of roughly $14 billion for the U.S. TikTok business. Separately, investors are reportedly paying about $10 billion to the U.S. government/Treasury as part of the arrangement—a highly unusual feature that has prompted questions in Congress.
