TikTok US Divestiture Deal Finalized — Oracle, Silver Lake, MGX Acquire Stakes

A final agreement resolving TikTok's US regulatory crisis was signed on January 22, 2026. Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX (Abu Dhabi sovereign fund) each acquired approximately 15% stakes in TikTok's US operations, while ByteDance retained a 19.9% stake. The deal reportedly included a $10 billion fee to the US Treasury, though Senator Mark Warner raised questions about the payment's structure. ByteDance's overall valuation reached $550 billion. The resolution ends a five-year saga: beginning with Trump's 2020 executive orders, the Supreme Court's January 2025 unanimous upholding of the divest-or-ban law, and a temporary blackout before a negotiated ownership restructuring superseded an outright ban.
