TikTok's US Spinoff: Oracle Deal Dodges Ban, Fuels Trends
Tiktok BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
TikTok just sealed a blockbuster deal to spin off its US operations into a new joint venture, dodging a potential nationwide ban thats been hanging over the platform like a bad breakup. According to an internal memo from CEO Shou Zi Chew reported by the Associated Press and WDRB, ByteDance and TikTok signed binding agreements with heavy hitters Oracle, Silver Lake, and Emirati firm MGX, who will snag half ownership with 15 percent stakes each, while ByteDance holds just 19.9 percent and affiliates take 30.1 percent. The setup closes January 22 with a seven-member majority-American board, Oracle storing all US user data locally, and Tiktoks addictive algorithm retrained on American data alone to block any foreign meddling—Chew called it a win for users, creators, and the platforms future amid years of Trump executive order extensions. Chinas commerce ministry threw some shade via Reuters and Times of India, urging solutions that obey Chinese laws and balance interests, hinting at possible surprises as they finally commented on the handover. TaxTMI and MMM-Online confirm the deal sells over 80 percent of the US business, handing control of data protection, content moderation, and software to the new TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC for 170 million users. On the fun side, New Engen recaps December trends exploding with holiday flair: Zootopia 2 couple selfies to Ed Sheerans Photograph, advent calendar unboxings from Sephora and LEGO, the viral Money in the Grave x Last Christmas mashup by noteliwood fueling Santa hat dances and glam hauls, AI girlfriend glow-ups via Grok turning ignored partners into deer or whatever, bait-and-switch dance tutorials to Leave Em Alone, Mr. Sandman harmony challenges on the grid, and ChatGPT roasts outing ridiculous questions to Nicki Minajs Beez in the Trap. Nostalgia rules with 2016 throwbacks, Drakes zesty ooo its freezing cold snaps, and Black Friday rants mourning the lost chaos—all poised to shape Tiktoks cultural footprint into 2026. No fresh public sightings of Chew or big business tie-ins beyond this, but Oracle shares jumped 5 percent after hours on the news.
