This move comes after months of pressure from the Trump governance, which sought to force the Chinese-owned company ByteDance to divest its U.S.TikTok entity or face a nationwide ban, following a 2024 Supreme Court ruling upholding a related law. Under the agreement, American investors will hold 45% of the new joint venture, ByteDance investors 30.1%, ByteDance itself 19.9%, and other American investors 5%.The deal includes Oracle providing app security, addressing national security concerns due to ByteDance&#8217;s chinese ownership.
