TikTok US divestiture deal 2026: ByteDance Closes $14 Billion Spin-off
ByteDance closed a $14 billion TikTok US divestiture deal 2026 on January 22nd, transferring US operations to a joint venture with Oracle and Silver Lake.
A $14 billion lifeline has officially rewritten TikTok's future in the United States. On January 22nd, 2026, ByteDance and a group of elite investors finalized the deal to spin off the platform's US operations, effectively dodging a nationwide ban that's been looming over the app for a year.
The New Power Structure: TikTok US divestiture deal 2026
Under the newly formed TikTok US Data Security (USDS) Joint Venture LLC, the ownership landscape has shifted dramatically. Investment powerhouse Silver Lake, Abu Dhabi-backed MGX, and cloud giant Oracle have each secured a 15% stake. To comply with federal divestment laws, ByteDance has slashed its holdings to a minority 19.9% share.
Oracle's Strategic Win
According to The Verge, this isn't just a change in shareholders; it's a total management reset. A new slate of American executives will lead the USDS entity. This move is designed to create a 'firewall' between global operations and US user data, a compromise that legislators have been demanding since 2024.
