According to a report from The Information, Trump plans to announce his master plan for keeping TikTok alive in the US through a new entity called “TikTok America.” The idea is to split the company between US investors (50%), existing ByteDance investors (roughly one-third), and ByteDance itself maintaining a 19.9% stake.
News of the offer emerged as Trump prepared to meet with senior officials to review the approaching cutoff for TikTok's sale.
Led by billionaire Frank McCourt of Project Liberty, with ‘Shark Tank’ investor Kevin O’Leary, this consortium offered over $20 billion, according to Fortune. It includes Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and aims to rearchitect TikTok for user data control.
